The Struggle for Voting Rights The struggle for equality obviously isn’t over, but this week, Leonard looks at the steep human price paid for the African American right to vote, and the NAACP’s ongoing battle for voting equality in America guaranteed to every citizen. Leonard's special guest is Gloria Brown-Marshall. She’s a lawyer, a constitutional law professor at John Jay College in New York, and the author of "The Voting Rights War: The NAACP and the Ongoing Struggle for Justice."
