The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect African American voters from discriminatory practices and groups like the Ku Klux Klan. This landmark legislation aimed to eliminate barriers to voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, which were often used to disenfranchise Black voters. It also provided for federal oversight and monitoring of voter registration and election processes in areas with a history of racial discrimination. The Act significantly strengthened the legal framework for protecting the voting rights of African Americans.
