ON THIS DAY On March 15, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson addresses a joint session of Congress to urge the passage of legislation guaranteeing voting rights for all. Johnson reminds the nation that the Fifteenth Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War, gave all citizens the right to vote regardless of race or color. But states had defied the Constitution and erected barriers. |

Here’s a thought for the day “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ― George Orwell
