VOTING RIGHTS IN THE USA A Pathfinder for 5th Grade
	When the United States first became a nation, only white men with property had the right to vote in most states. Women, African Americans, Native Americans, non-English speakers, and citizens between the ages of 18-21 struggled for many decades to win the right to vote in the U.S.A. Why were some people denied the right to vote and how did they win that right? This pathfinder will help you find information in your school library media center, on the Internet, and in the community about the struggle for equal voting rights in the U. S. A.
