One Person, No Vote (Young Readers' Edition)How All Voters Are Not Treated Equallyby Carol Anderson and Tonya Bolden

An adaptation of the New York Times bestselling author's book about thestartling truth behind voter suppression in America.

This middle grade adaptation brings to light the shocking truth about how notevery voter is treated equally. After the election of Barack Obama, a rollbackof voting rights occurred, punctuated by a 2013 Supreme Court decision thatundid the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Known as the Shelby ruling, this decisionallowed districts with a history of racial discrimination to change votingrequirements without approval from the Department of Justice.

This book follows the stunning aftermath of that ruling and explains how votersuppression works, from photo ID requirements to gerrymandering to pollclosures. It also explores the resistance: the organizing, activism, and courtbattles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans as the nation gearsup for the 2020 presidential election season.
