93 Year Old Civil Rights Activist Rosanell Eaton is Fed Up with Voting Rights Violations

Yesterday on Politics Nation the Reverend Al Sharpton introduced one of the oldest civil rights activist to date, 93 year old Rosanell Eaton, who is absolutely furious that her right to vote has been violated -- again.  

During the brief segment the North Carolina resident reminisced on her past experiences with fighting for the right to vote during the Jim Crow era, as she was constantly shot at and threatened for helping African Americans register to vote.

It was amazing listening and watching this woman who's a 'walking talking piece of history', explain to the public how the past has certainly become the present and in her opinion -- the present "seems much worse."

Ms. Eaton has been around since the turn of the century and her eyes could almost certainly write many books, due to the events and experiences she has encountered throughout history -- as she is a very real testament of Americas past shortcomings that still fall short today.

The fact that this extraordinary woman is still fighting for her right and ours to vote, should make us all take heed to stand up for what is right and just. 

Ms. Eaton's story as well as the stories of many others will always remind me to speak out and take action, instead of remaining silent on the sidelines.
