LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, Aug. 6, 1965

quote [ On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, which sought to lift long-standing impediments against blacks that blocked them from voting in some federal, state and local elections. ]

And then we arrested as many People of Color as we could.
