TED-Ed: The fight for the right to vote in the United States - Nicki Beaman Griffin

The video explores the evolution of voting rights in the United States, starting from the limited suffrage in 1789 to the broader inclusivity of today. Initially, only white male property owners could vote. Over time, amendments and movements expanded voting rights to include Black men, women, and 18-year-olds. Despite these advancements, challenges like voter suppression persist. The video highlights key historical milestones, such as the 15th and 19th Amendments, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the 26th Amendment, which collectively shaped the current voting landscape.
