It was a change to the Constitution, stating that any citizen had the right to vote (women still didn't have the right; was mainly to establish voting right for slaves). I added the text below.
Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
it only gave black men the right to vote not women of any color
The 15th Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits the governments from allowing citizens from being allowed to vote. This includes what the citizen's race, color, or previous condition of servitude are.
The 15th amendment enabled blacks to vote.

The Fifteenth Amendment eliminated race as a restriction on voting.

Women were not included in the 15th amendment. Back then women did not have as much right as men.

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.
