Dr. Lawrence Aaron Nixon was an unlikely hero when lie agreed to challenge Texas's notorious all-white primary in the 1920s. But his extraordinary courage and persistence, his willingness to try no matter the odds, led to a series of signal Supreme Court decisions that ultimately integrated Texas elections and set the course for even bigger civil rights victories to come. Beto O'Route weaves together Nixon's story with those of other great Texans who improved America's democracy-from athletes to activists, politicians, and citizens. By bringing us into the epicenter of the current fight against voter suppression, O'Rourke shows just how essential it is that the sacred right to vote is protected so that democracy can thrive for future generations.
