The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.
Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls. During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.
