Answer:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote as guaranteed under the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Voting Rights Act is considered one of the most far-reaching pieces of civil rights legislation in U.S. history.

Selma to Montgomery March

Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the presidency in November 1963 upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In the presidential race of 1964, Johnson was officially elected in a landslide victory and used this mandate to push for legislation he believed would improve the American way of life, such as stronger voting-rights laws.

Reconstruction Efforts

Reconstruction efforts after the Civil war have been recognized as a political success however, there are a lot of things that could have been done differently.

Most important for the African-American community. While slavery was completely abolished throughout the country, most former slaves could not find decent living, especially along the bible belt.

Due to rampant racism still in place, African-American community was marginalized in ghettos, taking up small jobs if available.

My main focus would have been to ensure that all these freed people had the same basic rights and opportunities by law.
