> ...Black people couldn't vote in the US 70 years ago. Black people have been guaranteed equal voting rights in theory since the 15th amendment was ratified in 1870, which was 148 years ago. (And free black citizens existed and could vote in parts of the USA before that.) Black people since then have faced practical barriers to equal voting in many parts of the country, continuing to the present day. |
