After the passage of the Civil Rights Act, civil rights activists aimed to improve voting rights in the South, as discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes still suppressed the African American vote. This push was crucial for ensuring that the legal protections established in the Civil Rights Act translated into real-world voting power for disenfranchised citizens. Activists launched various campaigns, including voter registration drives and protests, to draw national attention to these injustices. Their relentless efforts eventually led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate barriers to voting based on race and enforced the right to vote for all citizens.
