Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Louisiana Alleging Violations of the National Voter Registration Act

Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Louisiana Alleging Violations of the National Voter Registration Act Louisina where my sisiter and brother-in law were denied the right register to vote for the 1960 election as two white persons who wanted to register as republican. There contact with Sen Carlson of kansas was big momentum that led to the civil rights act of 1962 and the votes of Qauchita parishe did not count in 1964 for president as penalty. Hew know the whole story behind the reason we have civil rights and voting rights laws. its not always a racial issue; its about power and what group wants to control it and not share equally as our consitution allows.  When they came home to vist that summer, I, still a child got angry and said this is not right and my Dad told them to call Sen. Carlson. My sister did and said: Sen Carrlson wants to see him right now in his Topeka Ks office.
