CORRECT ANSWER: The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.

Before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed African Americans and other races had many obstacles to overcome before they could participate in politics. In some states, African Americans had to take a test or pay a fee before being allowed to vote. Those who could not pass the test or pay the fee were not able to vote. This practice was unfair and stopped many African Americans from getting involved in politics. The Voting Rights Act banned any practice that would keep legal U.S. citizens from voting, as a result, African Americans could finally make a difference in U.S. politics.
