"in comparison the civil rights movement didnt take off till the 60s and 70s here. if i remember right people of a certain color couldnt vote deep down south. that is a far cry from the south that we see today."

GG history. Blacks could vote long before the 60s.

Many black folks from the south would disagree with you. Theoretically they could vote but we all know the reality behind those "redemption" tactics
