Both men helped in the fight to make sure everyone has the right to vote. Now, they’re inspiring young people voting for the first time.

“If you don’t vote, you don’t get nothing,” Banks told Channel 2′s Tom Jones.

Banks has been voting for 60 years. He’s about to turn 100 years old. Davis is already 100.

RACES TO WATCH:

The poll manager at the center told Jones that the men are walking history.

Banks said his voice may not be as powerful as it used to be, but the voice on his ballot is.

His advice for everyone is simple: If you want change, “go vote.”
