Q: Reflect on your experience with researching your question. (e.g., Explain what you found challenging? Explain what motivated you. )

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

I chose three different resources:  1. Voting Rights Act of 1965 from Wikipedia.  2. Voter Suppression from Wikipedia.  3. Civil Rights from BrainPop.

I liked researching this topic because it was a learning experience. I had never heard of Voter Suppression until I read the Wikipedia article on it. Some parts were challenging while researching. Wikipedia uses lots of words that I don’t recognize and I have to search up. They also use lots of phrases to describe things that I don’t understand.

What motivated me was the fact that I had a question, and I wanted it answered. I would research anything to answer that question. That fueled me the whole time. If I have a question, I want it answered.

Researching can be challenging, but if you want to learn new things and answer questions, you have to spend time on it.
