Even if you don't live in the United States, you are likely well aware of the recent
US Presidential election. A record number voted; 66.5% of eligible voters cast ballots,
the highest turnout rate since 1900.

Of course in 1900, eligible voters included only men. African Americans and other
people of color faced barriers at the polls, including poll taxes, literacy tests,
and intimidation.

It has only been since 1920 that women finally won the right to vote. As I am learning
new realities of history beyond what I was taught in elementary school, I have learned
that Native American women were not granted citizenship and the right to vote until
1924, with the Indian Citizenship Act, although some state laws still barred Native
Americans from voting long after this date. Lyndon Johnson's Voting Rights Act was
signed into law in 1965 (within my memory of current events), only belatedly outlawing
discriminatory prerequisites to voting. My husband has his Texas poll tax receipt
from 1964.Library of Congress: Voting rights for African Americans.
