X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This month Duncan Library will be screenin
 g <em>Answering the Call: The American Struggle for the Right to Vote</em>
 .&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The bloody attacks of protesters in Selma in 1965 led to 
 the historic protection of all Americans' right to vote. The film explores
  a cherished family story of Selma and the current state of voter suppress
 ion in America.</p>\n<p>Fifty one years ago\, the nation watched in horror
  as bloody images of police attacks on civil rights protesters in Selma\, 
 Alabama aired on television. John Witeck was a sophomore at the University
  of Virginia when he saw the graphic coverage of Bloody Sunday\, and when 
 Dr. King called for supporters to travel to Selma to march for justice he 
 packed his bags and journeyed south. Fifty one years later\, John and his 
 nephew Brian Jenkins (Director) traveled back to Alabama to document John'
 s story of Selma\, the fight for voting rights\, and the evolution of the 
 Voting Rights Act\; the law that prevented voting discrimination and prote
 cted every American's right to vote.</p>\n<p>In 2013\, this monumental pro
 tection for all Americans earned by the blood of heroized civil rights adv
 ocates was struck down by the Supreme Court. Alabama and many other states
  have since passed new types of restrictive voting laws that those who mar
 ched with Dr. Martin Luther King fought so hard to overcome.</p>\nhttps://
