“I am 65 years old, I own 100 acres of land that is paid for, I am a taxpayer and I have six children. All of them is teachin’, workin’… If what I done ain’t enough to be a registered voter with all the tax I got to pay, then Lord have mercy on America.”

– A black man attempting to register to vote in Selma, Alabama, c. 1964
