A large part that played into making literacy tests were because of fear. The Whites feared that if blacks were able to exercise their constitutional right to vote they would have the ability to change the government that the whites built. The blacks would be able to voice their own opinion and change laws and regulations such as those implemented for segregation.

This campaign was aimed to register African Americans in Mississippi because of the low number of registered black voters. Freedom Summer was organized by the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The volunteers of the campaign were African American and white college students from the north. As expected, the volunteers faced backlash and harassment from the white population of Mississippi. Locals, police and the Ku Klux Klan also attacked and terrorized these young volunteers (Freedom summer

After protesting in front of the White House, the president decided to support women's suffrage. Soon Congress passed the amendment. Once they passed the amendment, it was the state's decision on whether or not they wanted to ratify it. Finally in 1920, women won the right to vote. Paul was still not satisfied, she spent the rest of her life working on a new Constitutional Amendment, known as the Equal Rights Amendment.

The new 15th amendment states a list of reasons that a state cannot allow an individual to vote. This list consist of reasons like race, ethnicity, social class, and things such as previous servitude. The typical male that was allowed to vote and seen as a full citizen was a male that was white, free, and 21 years or older.

The civil rights movement broke segregation. Whites and blacks are not allowed in the same schools, churches, on the same bus, or restaurants, etc. the movement achieved equal rights in 1960 that ended discrimination against people because of their race.

What was happening in Mississippi when the civil rights Movement was ending was that a part was formed called the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. There goal was to let the colored to vote for once and all not just 5% but an 100%, The congress in 1965 passed the law that the colored could register to vote without reading or writing. John F. Kennedy made a change of law which stopped segregation within public places.With this law passed the whites still made it hard for the colored to register to vote. The MFDP in nineteen sixty four was also challenging the white congress because since there was no one colored. They elected their own group of party to run because again there was no one to stand up for the colored society and have equal justice.

The organization came to be when people didn’t want “undesirable” traits in the U.S. population and tried to get rid of all those traits. Blacks and whites weren’t allowed to marry or have children because black skin color was an “undesirable” trait. Many black men and women were sterilized for this reason and didn’t have a choice. This caused another issue because what determined if someone was black? People had a black and white parents before this law was made.

White: The Supreme Color of Racism The era of oppression sparked major controversy in the African American community. Being fed up with the segregation of schools, busses, or even drinking fountains, many Civil Rights activists took a stand on racism. Minor protests began to arise as the movement for equal rights became clearer to the public. Rosa Parks and hundreds of other African Americans began boycotting Montgomery busses as a result of the segregation upon seats. Two years after the boycotting of the Montgomery busses, Martin Luther King Jr. began to surface in the public 's eye.

The following year Johnson enacted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which allowed federal employees to register voters, prohibited any change in voting stations unless permitted, and eliminated voting barriers like taxes and tests. Voting centers were no longer allowed to inhibit black voters by making up their own rules, otherwise they would be investigated. Allowing African Americans to do their civic duty and be heard in the federal government was exactly what many civil rights movements were fighting for. The government would hear more than just the white man’s voice with this new law, they would also hear the voice of many oppressed peoples. The inability to vote was exactly what led to the creation of the United States, and allowing another population to vote is undoubtedly a turning point in the country’s history.

There were many Jim Crow laws to stop blacks from voting. For example, blacks couldn’t vote if their grandfather was a slave. They had to pass a really hard test to vote, and they were taxed when they voted. All of these laws tried to restrict the power of blacks.

The Supreme Court ruled in their favor stating, "segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law; for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the Negro group." However this decision did not suppress the racist ideals of Americans but in fact worsened them. In deep southern states, massive resistance against the new law erupted in protests, riots, and racial violence against the strive for equality. Some public schools even closed their doors rather than integrate and even reacted with

The codes (1) prohibited blacks from either renting land or borrowing cash to shop for land. (2) Prohibited blacks from testifying against whites in court. Johnsons also alienated and tried to stand against the Republicans in early 1866 when he vetoed a bill increasing the service and protection offered by the Freedmen’s Bureau and a civil rights bill that invalidated the Black codes.
