Let The People Decide Film and Panel Discussion 

The documentary Let The People Decide explores the history of the struggle of voting rights from the 1960's through the present day. The story connects the dots across the decades to show how the hotly debated issues of race & voting did not spring from a vacuum, but have been woven into the fabric of our society for generations.
