Equality's Call
Equality's Call: The Story of Voting Rights in America | Deborah Diesen
9 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Learn all about the history of voting rights in the United States—from our nation’s founding to the present day—in this powerful picture book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Pout-Pout Fish. A right isn’t right till it’s granted to all… The founders of the United States declared that consent of the governed was a key part of their plan for the new nation. But for many years, only white men of means were allowed to vote. This unflinching and inspiring history of voting rights looks back at the activists who answered equality’s call, working tirelessly to secure the right for all to vote, and it also looks forward to the future and the work that still needs to be done.

A good way of explaining a deep contradiction in the founding of the American republic: only a select few male white landowners could vote
