LOUISBURG, N.C. — Rosanell Eaton, an African-American voting rights activist who successfully helped challenge voting restrictions supported by North Carolina Republicans, has died. She was 97.

Eaton's daughter, Armenta Eaton, says her mother died Saturday at home in Louisburg, North Carolina.

Rosanell Eaton was a poll worker or precinct judge for decades who had registered to vote as a young woman in rural Franklin County despite Jim Crow restrictions.

When white men told her she had to recite the preamble to the U.S. Constitution before she could register to vote, she did it from memory, her daughter said.

Eaton grew up on a farm and went to segregated schools. Her advocacy for voting rights came in the face of racist attacks, as her house was shot at and crosses were lit on fire in her yard, her daughter said.

Was she one of those that opposed voter ID laws adhering to the mindset that blacks can't get what whites have no problem getting?

What voter restrictions? Expecting blacks to get the same voter ID that whites have no problem getting isn't restricting them. I thought blacks wanted to be treated equally. When they are, they cry about it.

That puts her on the same level of intelligence as the average 3rd grader who can recite the Preamble from memory.
