Summary
Sixty-one years after heroes died for the right to vote, their families are heartbroken as the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act—exactly the law their loved ones gave everything to secure.

Names like Viola Liuzzo and Denise McNair echo through their grief, fueling outrage at what feels like a betrayal of justice. Yet, they refuse to surrender—keeping the flame alive through activism, remembrance, and a call to vote, ensuring their sacrifices aren’t erased by history or politics.
