Voting Rights Act
The United States Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed the requirement that would-be voters take literacy tests in order to qualify to register to vote, and it provided for federal registration of voters in areas that had less than 50% of eligible voters registered. It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on August 6, 1965.
