#085: Leadership, Texas, and the Voting Rights Act
Update: 2025-08-08
Description
President Lyndon Baines Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress on March 15, 1965. He said, “In our system the first and most vital of all our rights is the right to vote.” Today is the 60th anniversary of passage of the Voting Rights Act and today the rights of peoples vote to be heard is under attack. President Donald Trump and the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott are seeking to redraw the states congressional lines to silence the voice of Democrats. President Trump says the Texan Republicans are “entitled.” This is not democracy. This is not “the right thing."
