The Voting Rights Act of 1965 significantly empowered African Americans by prohibiting racial discrimination in voting, effectively eliminating barriers such as literacy tests and poll taxes that had disenfranchised them. It led to increased voter registration and participation among African Americans, particularly in the South, and facilitated the election of Black representatives. This landmark legislation was a crucial step toward achieving civil rights and greater political representation for African Americans. Overall, it helped to foster a more inclusive democracy in the United States.
