Abstract
The article focuses on President Joe Biden's visit to Selma, Alabama, to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" march for voting rights. Biden emphasized the importance of voting as a fundamental aspect of democracy, highlighting ongoing challenges to voting rights, particularly following the Supreme Court's 2013 decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act. The article discusses various legislative efforts aimed at restoring voting protections, including a bill named after Congressman John Lewis and recent measures introduced in several states to combat voter suppression. It also notes the lack of corporate involvement in supporting voting rights, contrasting it with past activism against other social issues. [Extracted from the article]
