If you look at the Ruby Bridges pictures you'll see school aged kids who are still very much alive and vote like crazy. I pointed this out to my brother one day and he was totally caught off guard. And he's a pretty smart dude, it's just something that has been framed as "in the past" to us our whole lives by pretty much every institution. Propaganda works, very insidiously.
