Explain how the poll tax and literacy tests were not a violation of the 15th amendment
borishaifa [10]
In theory, all people had the right to vote regardless of race in states where voting restrictions were in place. One could go and vote, but had to complete the require state-mandated steps to do so. Technically, the poll tax and literacy tests were to be administered to all voters. However, the corruption of this often occurred at the polls where whites would "pass" the literacy tests where blacks could not even if they did. White workers would "forget" to charge the poll tax to whites or charge less so they could vote. Some states initially had a grandfather clause that stated if you grandfather could vote before the Civil War then you were exempt from the poll taxes and/or literacy test. This was a given for almost all whites and an immediately made all blacks qualify for the mandates because blacks did not have the right to vote prior to the Civil War.

Why do you think it's important to learn about the tulsa race massacre?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Well as an Oklahoman, I think it is important because it is a huge part of, not only Oklahoma's history, but history in general, a bunch of lives were lost due to racism and I think schools should not turn a blind eye to it.

Explanation:

On another note though my uncle told me last night "I don't think they should teach anything about race in school.. cause they are just people and I think the only reason racism is still around is because we keep talking about it"
