Amendment 15

[1.] 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.
[2.] The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment granted black men the right to vote.

This image shows a black hand placing a vote, because finally black people were granted the right to vote, thanks to the 15th amendment.

A picture of black people voting for the first time in our Country's history.
