About this Quote

Medgar Evers' quote "Our only hope is to control the vote" speaks with the power of the tally box and the value of exercising one's right to vote. Evers was a civil rights leader in the 1950s and 1960s who fought for the rights of African Americans in the United States. He believed that the only way to guarantee that African Americans had a voice in the political process was to ensure that they had the right to vote. By controlling the vote, African Americans might guarantee that their voices were heard and that their interests were represented in the government. Evers' quote is a tip of the significance of voting and the power of the ballot box. It is a call to action for all people to exercise their right to vote and to make sure that their voices are heard.
