Civil Rights Voting Act Video

This video summarizes how the March on Washington led to the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1964. It’s a great video that shows cause and effect. This would be good to show before or after covering the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1964.

After the video, ask:

  • How did the March on Washington lead to the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1964?
  • How did the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1964 lead to more equality and more voting access for people who had been discriminated against?
