Cleveland native and national voting rights activist Greg Moore will close out the day talking about his book Beyond the Voting Rights Act.. Moore is President and CEO of the Promise of Democracy Foundation and former Executive Director of the NAACP National Voter Fund.

The book is a moving account of over 30 years of contemporary voting rights battles in the United States. It tells a story of that struggle from the author’s perspective beginning as a young Black man from Cleveland in the 1980s, who reluctantly became involved within this movement as a student activist and inadvertently rose to become an integral part of the ultimate legislative victory.
