Voting Simulation 1965

I attempted to vote, as a black citizen in 1965 in Selma, Alabama. I was asked questions I am sure the sherif couldn't even answer herself; when I could not answer these I was turned away at the registration table. "And you call yourself an American when you can't even answer these questions?"

Peter attempted to vote, as a black citizen in 1965 in Selma, Alabama. The sherif ignored his question, two, three times when he kept asking. Then she turned to the other sherif and engaged in a conversation. When Peter tried to ask again, he was threatened by the sherif for "interrupting" and kicked out of the voting hall. "You can wait outside."

Ethan attempted to vote, as a black citizen in 1965 in Selma, Alabama.  He approached the sherif and asked politely if he could register. She asked about his family, specifically his younger brother who had been doing well in school. "It would be a shame if something happened to him. Wouldn't that be a shame, to see something happen to your younger brother, Ethan?". He left, without questioning the sherif.
