Undoubtedly, the biggest factor was the Civil Rights Movement. From the mid-1950s on, black leaders, especially in the south, worked to overturn Jim Crow laws and make it possible for black men and women to vote. (Historically, there were so many barriers to minorities voting that candidates who cared about the black community were rarely elected.) The work of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and others was crucial: gaining access to the voting booth meant gaining access to promoting candidates who supported civil rights; electing more minority members to congress also contributed to a renewed focus on issues that were important to African-Americans.

How did the fact that Bob Marley was African amierican influence his career?
The term "African-American" could not be applied to Bob Marley... sure Bob had African heritage but he wasn't an American. If you want to explore how his blackness influenced his career you very well could but by labeling him African-American is inaccurate and nothing more than political correctness at its worse.
