Resources at the Zinn Education Project include lessons for teaching about voting rights, Black elected officials during Reconstruction, how Black women won the vote, how Rosa Parks fought for voting rights, and more.
Books on Voting Rights
Find books for learning and teaching about voting rights for pre-K–12 at our Social Justice Books website.
SNCC and Voting Rights Toolkit
For strategies to challenge voter suppression today, we can learn from the work of the youth-led Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960s.
The SNCC Legacy Project has produced six toolkits that are free to download, each with primary documents, narrative history, photos, and discussion questions. Topics include voting rights, women & gender, freedom teaching, art & culture, Black power, and the organizing tradition.
Teach Truth Campaign Display
To raise awareness about the connection between education censorship and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, we added banned or challenged books on voting rights to our Zinn Education Project’s Teach Truth pop-up display. Each display box includes either One Person, No Vote (YA edition): How Not All Voters Are Treated Equally by Carol Anderson with Tonya Bolden or Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom by Lynda Blackmon Lowery.
