DC Peace Walk for voting rights with MLK family
Wali Johnson (left) and Daniel Fields of Credible Messenger violence interrupters attend the DC Peace Walk for voting rights. Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and Yolanda Renee King and other civil rights leaders joined the Peace Walk this year to march for voting rights. The King family asked Americans not to celebrate the birthday of MLK Jr. if the Senate had not yet passed legislation to protect voting rights, but to take action to stop voter suppression. The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge was chosen to emphasize the message that if Congress can create an exception to the filibuster to pass the infrastructure bill, it can do the same for voting rights legislation. The Senate is expected to vote later in the week on the Freedom to Vote and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Acts. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
