The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to increase Black suffrage by prohibiting racial discrimination in voting. Despite its passage, various tactics like literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation tactics continued to suppress Black voter turnout, particularly in the South. Additionally, subsequent legal challenges and voter ID laws have further undermined the effectiveness of efforts to ensure equitable access to the ballot. Ultimately, while the Act was a significant step forward, systemic barriers have persisted, limiting its impact.
