Honoring MLK, Biden urges fight to restore Voting Rights Act
Vice President Joe Biden honed in on voting rights as a top priority as he honored Martin Luther King, Jr.s life in a speech Monday morning.
In a 25-minute speech composed largely of his memories of lawmakers involved in passing the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act one of the most difficult civil rights bills to ever be won, he said Biden urged the audience at the National Action Network's annual King Day breakfast to work to restore the law.
Last week a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill to require all states to seek permission to change their laws unless they have gone 15 years without any infringement on voting.
I have to admit, I never thought wed be fighting the fight again on voting rights, Biden said. But he said those honoring Kings legacy must push to restore the law against a hailstorm of efforts to curb voting rights.
Our opponents know the single most dangerous thing to give us is the right to vote, Biden said.
