Today marks the day that the 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870. It states: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The 15th Amendment granted African-American men the right to vote. Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s discriminatory practices were used to prevent blacks from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. It wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that legal barriers were outlawed at the state and local levels if they denied African-Americans their right to vote under the 15th Amendment. While we should acknowledge the ratification of this Amendment, we all need to recognize that there is much work to be done on issues of justice in our country.
Happy Birthday today to Shea McLaren. A special Happy Birthday today to Ms. Woods!
