Fifty years later...

In the 60's, it was all about making things better.  People were unhappy about the war, tired of being treated as second class citizens, and were willing to do something, in the form of protest, about it.  It was a large wave of energy which continued to gather momentum until some really great changes were made.  One of the things that made a huge amount of difference was the passing of the "Voters Rights Act."  It is fifty years later, one would expect things to have improved on all fronts, but our "Voters Rights Act", is being dismantled by the states, and our Supreme  Court is going along with it.  Women's rights, so fought for, are being blown up at the same time.  It's as if some want us to return to the 1950's!  We should be ashamed of ourselves for letting any of this happen. I don't know about you, but now is the time to reverse these travesties, and I am going to do something about it. Please join me!  Don't let Martin Luther King's life work be in vain!
