Lillian’s Right to Vote: A Celebration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
Jonah Winter
On Voting Day, 100-year-old Lillian makes her way up a steep hill to cast a ballot. As she climbs, she recalls generations of her family facing exclusion, danger, and loss while pursuing voting rights. Her memories reach from ancestors sold outside a courthouse where only white men voted to the Civil Rights Movement, the Selma-to-Montgomery march, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. That law enabled Lillian to vote for the first time.
