August 6, 1965: Voting Rights Act Signed into Law
President Lyndon Johnson signed the landmark legislation that enforced the 14th amendment to the Constitution and sought to end the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests, poll taxes and other bureaucratic restrictions, that effectively disenfranchised Black voters. The law broadly prohibits the “denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color.” It has been readopted and strengthened several times, including in 1970, 1975 and 1982.
