💨 Abstract
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a pivotal follow-up to the Civil Rights Act. President Lyndon Johnson signed it on Capitol Hill to honor the bravery of its supporters. The law ended discriminatory practices like poll taxes and literacy tests and introduced a preclearance process to prevent voting changes in states with a history of discrimination.
