About 26th Amendment Collection
These photos are part of the 26th Amendment Collection in the Modern Political Papers collections, which was compiled to celebrate the 40th and 50th anniversaries of passage and ratification of the constitutional amendment to lower the voting age to 18 in all elections by some of the main drivers for that passage and ratification. The photos document their work with members of Congress in 1970-1971 to ensure that passage and ratification.
