"Let Us Vote!" tells the fascinating tale of how a bipartisan coalition worked successfully to lower the voting age. Over a thirty-year period starting during World War II, Americans, old and young, Democrat and Republican, in politics and culture, built a movement for the 26th Amendment to the US Constitution, which lowered the voting age from twenty-one to eighteen in 1971. This was the last time that the United States significantly expanded voting rights. "Let Us Vote!" provides an essential investigation of how this massive political change occurred, and how it could be brought about again--back cover.
