Synopsis "The Day Madear Voted"

A moving look at a Black family's journey to exercise their right to vote and imagine a better future. Charlie and Ralph's mom has waited a long time to vote because countless obstacles have been put in Black people's way to stop them from having a say in elections--obstacles that it took a lot of hard work to tear down. But now, in 1969, Madear is going to vote for the very first time, and the boys are coming along on this exciting day. A day that puts a new bounce in their mom's step, and enables them all to begin to dream of a better future. Wade Hudson and Don Tate give young readers a warm family story as well as a powerful glimpse into the struggle that had to be waged to achieve a fundamental right of citizenship.
