The empowered teen turned reflective elder told me that whenever someone complained to him about then-President Donald Trump’s actions, he had one question for them: “Did you vote?” If they responded that voting is useless because politicians do whatever they want, he would calmly remind them, “You can change things,” before adding what he knew better than anyone:
“People gave their lives so you can vote.”

Most surprisingly, six decades was long enough for the Voting Rights Act — now established law whose passage Moton spent his entire adult life being proud of — to be threatened. On Nov. 20, a federal appeals court ruled that only the federal government — not private citizens and civil rights groups as is customary — are allowed to sue under a key section of the landmark civil rights law. Considering that about 90 percent of successful lawsuits under the act are brought by private plaintiffs and groups, the decision effectively deals a death blow to the historic legislation in seven states. Almost certain to be appealed, the ruling will probably end up in the Supreme Court.
