The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits a state from preventing someone from voting because of their race. Similarly, the Black suffrage laws passed after the Civil War, such as the black codes, were discriminatory laws that aimed to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote. Therefore, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 connects to these Black suffrage laws by working to counteract the discriminatory practices and ensure equal voting rights for all citizens, regardless of their race.
