One of the key programs designed to register African American voters in the South was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This legislation aimed to eliminate barriers to voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, which were used to disenfranchise Black voters. Additionally, grassroots organizations like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) actively worked to register voters and mobilize communities during the Civil Rights Movement. These efforts were crucial in increasing voter registration and participation among African Americans in the South.
