After you contacted the President as a Government official and helped stress the severity of what individuals were going through, President Linden B. Johnson heard you. Martin Luther King Jr. successfully conveyed what he and many other African Americans were going through in terms of civil rights discrimination. This image shows President Linden B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights act of 1965 stating that no race or minority could be discriminated against when voting. The act allows all people to vote with no discrimination. Before this, many people were forced to take literacy tests to participate in voting. African Americans were also discriminated against due to lack of polls near their areas. Many of them were marginalized and limited to where or how they could access voting polls due to them not being in their neighborhoods. All of this injustice was gone due to the fighting power of civil rights activists. Martin Luther King Jr. can be seen in the photo on the right as President Johnson signs the monumental act. You helped Martin Luther King pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965! He tells you that you would make a great activist speak out more. What will you say?
