After being passed by Congress on February 25, 1869, it was ratified on February 3, 1870.
The 15th Amendment was a follow-on to the 13th Amendment (abolished slavery) and the 14th amendment (guaranteed citizenship to non-whites, but only weakly discouraged their disenfranchisement). The 15th amendment specifically extended voting rights to non-white residents of the US, including freed slaves, which at least nominally prohibited the denial of their legal 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.
