With a stark warning that "were going to hell" if we dont fight back, Crockett exposes how this isnt just about Texasits about Americas future. She points out that the real criminals arent the lawmakers trying to protect voters rights, but those in power who are deliberately undermining democracy to hold onto control.

The American Experience series and went thru the history of the fight for voting rights. Its been going on for over 200 years and the road blocks and evil intentions to deny people..every citizen, the right to vote freely.

(23,691 posts)5. American Experience The Vote part 1, 2 were repeated from last month
It started with the fight for womens suffrage to the defeat of ERA to today. They were about 2 hours each so on this hot Sunday, I got lost in the documentaries. YouTube may have them, too.
