The Disenfranchisement of My Daughter

Growing up in Mississippi and North Carolina in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I have vivid memories of African-Americans hoping to participate in their first election being turned away at the polls, denied their most basic right to vote.
 
Little did I know that near fifty years later, in 2008, my daughter would similarly be prevented from voting.
