The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, granted African American men the right to vote, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying the right based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. While it was a significant step towards equal rights, it did not ensure full equality or protection from discriminatory practices, which persisted through various state laws and systemic racism. The Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century eventually led to further legal advancements, including the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate barriers to voting for African Americans.
