Congresswoman Johnson Discusses Voting Rights In Washington

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson was joined by fellow Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn, Congressman Bennie Thompson, and Congresswoman Marcia Fudge) at a Voting Rights panel in Washington. The discussion covered various aspects of The Voting Rights Act of 1965, the struggle for minority voting rights in America, and the challenges we face in several states if new Voter ID Laws are implemented.

"We are committed to making sure all Americans are aware of the different changes in state voting laws and voter I.D. requirements." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
