The poll tax was actually an impediment to African-Americans exercising their right to vote. By taxing voting for African-Americans, who were extremely poor, it effectively stopped them from voting. Only when poll taxes were deemed unconstitutional by the 24th Amendment did African-Americans begin to have a shot at full citizenship.

It gave full citizenship to all people born in the Unites States. Because most African Americans were American born, they became full citizens. The amendment also required every state to grant its citizens "equal protection of the laws."
Full civil rights for African Americans..
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship and equal protection under the law but did not guarantee all rights to African Americans. It did not ensure voting rights, as states could still impose discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes to disenfranchise Black voters. Additionally, it did not address social and economic inequalities, leaving many African Americans without access to education, employment, and fair treatment in civil society. As a result, the full realization of rights for African Americans remained limited despite their legal citizenship.
