== == The Fifteenth Amendment (Amendment XV) to the United States Constitution prohibits each government in the United States from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color or previous condition of servitude" (i.e., slavery). It was ratified on February 3, 1870. The Fifteenth Amendment is one of the Reconstruction Amendments. The Fifteenth Amendment is the third of the Reconstruction Amendments. This amendment prohibits the states and the federal government from using a citizen's race,[1] color or previous status as a slave as a voting qualification. Its basic purpose was to enfranchise former slaves. While some states had permitted the vote to former slaves even before the ratification of the Constitution, this right was rare, not always enforced and often under attack. The North Carolina Supreme Court upheld this right of free men of color to vote; in response, amendments to the North Carolina Constitution removed the right in 1835.[2] Granting free men of color the right of to vote could be seen as giving them the rights of citizens, an argument explicitly made by Justice Curtis's dissent in Dred Scott v. Sandford. From Wikipedia

Were native Americans allowed voting rights during the times of the civil rights movement?
Following World War I, Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act, 1924 which gave them citizenship including the right to vote. Many western states, however, refused to allow them to vote and used tactics like poll taxes, reading requirements, and even hiding the polling places, to prevent them from voting. In 1947, Miguel Truillo, a Native American, sued New Mexico for not allowing him to vote. He won the case and Arizona and New Mexico were required to allow all Native Americans to vote. Following that case, western states granted Native Americans the right to vote.
