The NAACP has officially launched its 2018 voter education and registration drive. The country’s oldest Civil Rights organization launched the drive just weeks after the 50th anniversary commemoration of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., noting that voting by blacks is at an all-time low. NewsVision reporter Tayler Adigun talked to millennial voters to get their perspectives.
