Fifteenth Amendment

"Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

What It Means To Me:
It gave voting rights to freedmen regardless of race, color, or individuals ever having been slaves.

Media:
