Why did you choose this question to research? 

My question is: How did the Voting Rights Act of 1965 help stop Voter Suppression?

I chose this question because civil rights is a major topic right now.  The signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a really important event in civil rights history.  Voter Suppression was a big problem, and I want to know how this act helped stop it. Lastly, I chose this question because I don’t know a lot about the Voting Rights Act of 1965, or voter suppression, so it will be a learning experience! I think that Voting is a basic right that all humans, no matter what race, gender, religion, etc. should have a right to.
