The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a landmark legislation aimed at eliminating racial discrimination in voting, particularly in the Southern states. It prohibited literacy tests and provided for federal oversight of voter registration and elections in areas with a history of discriminatory practices. The Act was a significant advancement in civil rights, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of race, had the opportunity to vote. Subsequent amendments in the early 1970s further expanded protections, including lowering the voting age to 18.
