A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon

Unless the right to vote be secure and undenied, all other rights are insecure and subject to denial for all our citizens. The challenge to this right is a challenge to America itself. We must meet this challenge as decisively as we would meet a challenge mounted against our land from enemies abroad.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) American politician, educator, US President (1963-69)
“Special Message to the Congress on the Right to Vote” (1965-03-15)
