"One delegate questioned him: "Will it not be done by fraud and discrimination?" "By fraud, no. By discrimination, yes," Glass retorted."

-Carol Anderson, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy

"Arkansas, for example, raised "only 5 percent of [its] total school budget by the poll tax, a tax that [kept] a good 80 percent of [the state's] adult citizens from voting."

-Carol Anderson, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy

"In short, Virginia ensured that there would be schooling for whites but not blacks; and after that, the state changed its laws so that those who were illiterate would not be able to vote."

-Carol Anderson, One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy

"The tools of Jim Crow disfranchisement worked all too well. In 1867, the percentage of African American adults registered to vote in Mississippi was 66.9 percent; by 1955, it was 4.3 percent."

-Sarah McBride, Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality
