U.S. Representative Terri Sewell, D-Alabama, called on Congress to pass voting rights legislation on the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965’s passage.

In a video shared on Sewell’s X page, on Wednesday, commemorating the 60th anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act, the congresswoman called on Congress and Alabamians to push for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act’s passage.

“Sixty years later, I would have never guessed I would be a member of Congress, and I would be carrying this seminal piece of legislation to restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965,” Sewell said.

“Progress is elusive, and every generation must fight and fight again to hold on to the progress that we’ve made, and to advance it,” she continued.
