(NNPA)—Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to ensure that right… The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong--deadly wrong--to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.—President Lyndon Johnson, “The American Promise,” March 15, 1965

OLIVIA JONES TREE—Wish it...Dream it...Do it...Olivia’s Tree. (Photo by Rossano P. Stewart)
