African Americans were allowed to vote in the United States with the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, which prohibited voting discrimination based on race. Despite this, many faced significant barriers to exercising their voting rights for many years afterward. The amendment was a critical step in the Reconstruction era, aimed at integrating African Americans into the political process.
