The number of African American voters more than tripled from 1960 to 1966 in states like Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolin
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Voting Rights Act of 1965

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 made the number of African American voter's to triple and have high increase in African American voter registration.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law, the The Voting Rights Act of 1965. aimed at overcoming the legal obstacles at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote as entrenched under the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

During the civil rights movement that occurred in the 1950s and 1960s, voting rights activists in the South were subjected to various forms of mistreatment and violence. An example of this is when voting rights activists were met by Alabama state troopers who attacked them with nightsticks, tear gas and whips after they refused to turn back.

This incident got captured by National television and make President Johnson call for comprehensive Act legislation.

Also, blacks are often subjected to literacy tests by by election officials especially in the southern state like Alabama, South Carolina, and made to recite the constitution or explain some of the most complex part of the provisions of estate law, tasks that most white voters who passed easily but because african-americans are usually literate due to centuries of operation and poverty they usually fail this task.

Even in some cases blacks with college degree we are refused the right to vote and turned away from the voting polls.

This the voting rights bills of 1965 was passed by the congress on July 9 1965 signed into law by President Johnson on August 6 1965 with Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders present that ceremony.

This voting rights give African Americans the legal means to challenge voting restrictions and vastly improved African Americans voters turnout especially in the southern states. For example the Mississippi alone voters turnout among african-americans increased from 6% in 1964 to 59% 1969.
