I included this political cartoon because this chapter of Black Ants and Buddhist was about voting. In our country, I feel like a lot of people take the right to vote for granted. In this chapter, the writer mentions how minorities did not always have this right and that they felt it was very important to get people to register and go vote. I think that is why this political cartoon is so powerful. Minorities had to go through an entire movement and violence to be able to vote. I really enjoyed reading the article and about kids who were educated on what it took to get the right to vote and I was very happy to read about how they were able to make a difference.
