Southern Cultures: Volume 30, Number 1 - Spring 2024 Issue

[The South] fought, bled, and died in the fiercest battles that won us full access to the ballot,＂ writes Errin Haines, guest editor of our special issue, The Vote. ＂For me, to be a southerner is to be a voter, and to be a voter is to champion the rights of all Americans.＂ In the spring 2024 issue, we look at the vote-from the groundbreaking Voting Rights Act of 1965 to portraits of contemporary poll workers in North Carolina, from the battles we’ve won to those still being waged.
