In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the US Constitution gave freed slaves and all black men the right to vote. However, in practice, they were prevented from voting by what are known as Jim Crow laws, which required them to meet difficult and sometimes impossible criteria.

Amendment XV did give black people the right to vote in 1870, and some used it right away, electing state and federal senators and representatives. Jim Crow quickly snatched away that right for all practical purposes, however, as poll taxes and literacy tests--and Klansmen--denied blacks that fundamental right. President Johnson's Voting Rights act of 1965, is the true turning point in the USA's history of beginning to embrace blacks as full citizens with equal rights. This happened after marchers protesting against segregation and to be granted the right to vote were violently attacked by white segregationists who were trying to stop the protest. The marchers were planning to go from Selma to Montgomery.

They later succeeded at walking to Montgomery, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "address at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery March" on march 25th, 1965.
