In the mid-1960s, violent clashes occurred over the issue of voting rights and racially discriminatory voting practices. Twenty-five thousand people marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in March 1965 to protest illegal barriers to voter registration. Later that year the Voting Rights Act authorized federal examiners to register voters. It also banned abuses such as literacy tests; limiting voter registration to those whose fathers and grandfathers had once voted; and primaries in which only white voters could participate. By the end of 1965, 250,000 new African American voters had been registered, one-third of them by federal examiners. This Selma marcher became an icon of the struggle for voting rights in posters that encouraged newly enfranchised youth to vote in the election of 1972. ||

The admission of western territories as new states advanced the right of women to vote. These territories had less rigid social customs, and were anxious to acquire the number of voting residents needed to meet statehood requirements. In 1913 women voted in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. Not until the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 did women win the right to vote in the United States as a whole.

Following the Civil War, African American males won the right to vote with passage of the 15th Amendment.

When Southern whites regained control of their state governments at the end of Reconstruction, they put in place restrictive suffrage measures designed to prevent African Americans - and often poor whites - from voting. The new obstacles included poll taxes, property taxes, literacy tests, and long residency requirements. In this woodcut from the November 1867 Harper's Weekly, Virginia freedmen vote for the first time. ||

The basic theme that this book is focused on is that anyone can be the president whether big or small or fat or skinny. It does this by exploring the regular routine that any of us go through on a daily basis in order for student to not think of the president like an alien from another planet but just another human being like them. ||
