Tomorrow, August 6, is the anniversary of the 1961 Voting Rights Act. (Credit goes, I think, to Lyndon Johnson.) It broke the back of Jim Crow. If every person on this list of 900 or so people were to dedicate the year until next National Night Out to getting two new voters from among people of color--any color will do, so long as they are citizens. In August of 2004 we would have a minimum of 1800 new voters.
This is a challenge to list members.
