The NAACP is next week taking a complaint to the U.N. Human Rights Council over voter identification laws, which have already been passed in several states. "It was in 1947 that W.E.B. Dubois delivered his speech and
appealed to the world at the U.N.," NAACP president Benjamin Todd
Jealous said Thursday. "Now, like then, the principal concern is voting
rights. The past year more states in this country have passed more laws
pushing more voters out of the ballot box than any point since Jim
Crow."
