When Did The Blacks Gain The Right To Vote In USA?
The Blacks gained the right to vote in USA in 1966. This led to the emergence of the Black power movement which lasted till 1975. Due to the racism and inequality the black power rose against all odds to fight for their freedom and rights. This mission proved too dangerous and thousands of people sang to their tunes. At the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King delivered his famous speech “I have a dream” which broke all barriers and the black society rose ahead for their basic rights to freedom. The march happened to be a huge success with almost 200,000 supporters. After that, King had a meeting with President J F Kennedy and their demands were granted. Blacks winning the right to vote had a great impact on the society and thus changed the political landscape.
