Yes voting matters. Without the chance to vote our society would be corrupt. Black Citizens risked their lives to vote because saying that they can't basically means that their lives don't matter. As well as their voices don't matter in our society. Few people exercise this right because as the years pass, our world changes a lot. Years ago hitting your children was discipline. Now a days, if you hit your child you are send to jail or fined. People are too scared to stand up anymore.
In order to end deeply ingrained injustice you need political voicing. Someone that the people can trust and respect their decisions.
POST-VIEWING QUESTIONS:
Why were adults hesitant to join and students weren't?
Adults were hesitant to fight because they were scared of losing their lives. Students saw how badly their parents were being treated and they didn't want that for them or themselves.
What kind of planning,organizing and communication are required to take action and bring about change? Is participation enough?
They would drink out of white fountains on purpose and disobeyed all the White Laws. They would host meetings and plan out how they are going to protest and where. Participating is not enough. You need to participate and make it known around the whole city/everywhere you go what your purpose is and what you are fighting for.
Does voting still matter? If so, why do so many people not exercise the right to vote?
It does still matter, however, since voting is legal for all races and gender now a days, I feel like voting isn't as appreciated anymore. The saying "you never know what you have till its gone" applies to this because if we had the right taken away from certain people again, it would be a huge issue and we wouldn't take the opportunity to vote for granted.
