Rev. Al Sharpton: Civil Service

Rev. Al Sharpton, NAACP President Benjamin Jealous and other civil rights activists announce the "Stand for Freedom" voting rights campaign on the steps of City Hall on November 8, 2011, in New York City. The campaign was in response to an effort by some state legislatures around the country to require voters to provide government photo identification in order to vote. The activists say these efforts are designed to disenfranchise minority voters. (Photo:  Mario Tama/Getty Images)
