We Shall Not Be Denied by Cayla Bellanger DeGroat and Cicely Lewis
There are other books that explore voting rights and suppression, of course, but this is a solid one. In clear understandable language DeGroat and Lewis lay out the time line of voting rights. For each time period we learn who was allowed to vote and under what circumstances. Not only that, but also how people in power suppressed dissenting opinions and unpopular groups. Through these examples young readers gain a clear understanding of why voting rights should matter to them and the importance of casting your vote when you are able.
