African Americans and the vote �Before the Civil War (1861 -1865) African Americans did not have the right to vote � 1870 - Congress passes the Fifteenth Amendment giving African American men the equal right to vote. �In the 1880 s and 1890 s, states pass “Grandfather acts” Grandfather acts are requirements that certain states made in order to vote They were designed to keep black people from voting
Limits to voting rights �There were many ways different states tried to limit African Americans from voting Literacy tests: If you didn’t have a certain reading level, couldn’t take test (remember, many of the Black voters were former slaves who didn’t have school) Black codes and enforced segregation: voting held in places that were segregated and Blacks weren’t allowed inside White-only primaries: only the white people can vote in certain elections Physical intimidation and violence: People were hurt or killed when they tried to vote And more!!!
1965 Voting Rights Act � 1965 Voting Rights Act banned literacy tests and allowed the federal government to watch over states that had used “Grandfather Acts” � Within a year, 450, 000 new southern blacks successfully registered to vote; and voter registration of African-Americans in Mississippi rose from only 5 percent in 1960 to 60 percent by 1968
