What amendment gave thee blacks a right to vote?

amendment 15 amendment 15 While the 15th Amendment is what prohibited the states from using race as a means to deny the right to vote. The times being what they were, though, in no way did the 15th create equal - or even open - access to voting. Poll taxes were one of the major ways local governments disenfranchised minorities and the poor; poll taxes were made illegal by the 24th Amendment. Therefore, it was actually a combination of the 15th and 24th Amendments that franchised black citizens.
