Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 eliminated discriminatory literacy tests and other barriers that had prevented many Black Americans in the South from voting. This led to a significant increase in Black voter registration and participation in elections. Prior to the passage of the Voting Rights Act, many Southern states used various tactics, such as poll taxes and literacy tests, to prevent Black Americans from exercising their right to vote.
