| Video Discription | In the late 50s and early 60s, it was common to see politicians promote segregation. Billy Shaw, the father of WCNC Charlotte's Billie Jean Shaw, remembers when Strom Thurmond, a US senator from Columbia, South Carolina, ran for president. “He ran on racism,” said Shaw. “Even though Black people had the right to vote, the people who were running for office did not support civil rights for Black people.” He recalled the time when he turned 18 and tried to register to vote. However, because he was black, law required him to pay a fee and pass a series of ridiculous tests. "One of the most common ones, was the jelly bean jar test,” said Shaw. "Here's a jar and you had to tell them how many jelly beans were in the jar. Who could do that? No one, that was one of the things that kept you from registering to vote."
