https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/voting-rights/

It is a huge issue. I live in NC and have seen up close and personal what happened as soon as they dismantled parts of the Voting Rights Act. It wasn't that we didn't need it anymore, it was that it was WORKING. When it was gone, we lost a huge weapon that had been protecting minority voting rights in this state. Everyone knows the Supreme Court picks will be huge in this area, but smaller systemic items that she lists would be huge if we could get even one passed. People like early voting, both reps and dems, so that will be easier than the registration. But universal registration is also a no-brainer. They do it in other countries, not reason we can't here. If we have the political will.

along with Andy Young and others that actually did march with him and risked their lives. It was Coretta Scott King who expanded her husband's legacy to include other oppressed groups along with African Americans. So, so many great men and women came out of MLK's movement.
