The Long Shadow of Jim Crow

Read The Long Shadow of Jim Crow: Voter Intimidation and Suppression in America [PDF]by the PFAW Foundation and the NAACP.

Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
