Selma, Lord, Selma chs 1& 2

Selma, Lord, Selma is an autobiographical account of early 1965 in Selma, Alabama told from the viewpoint of two little girls who lived through the turbulence of that era. Each chapter is told in a first person account from either Sheyann's or Rachel's account of what happened each day. In the very first chapter Sheyann misses school in order to see what's happening in the church. She hears the speaker make a statement that she later asks her mother to clarify. He says "If you can't vote, then you're not free. And if you ain't free, children, then you're a slave." What do you think he meant by that statement? How does voting equate with freedom?
