Youth Voting Rights: Civil Rights, the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, and the Fight for American Democracy on College Campuses - Hardcover

The goal of this book is to use the history of the 26th Amendment and the ongoing fight to promote and defend youth voter participation as a prism through which to teach the history of the struggle for the fundamental right to vote in the United States. The book centers on case studies of four US institutions-Tuskegee University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and Bard College, which offer unique insights into the role of college communities in the fight for suffrage, and their contributions to the evolution of the right to vote in the United States.
