15th Amendment to
the Constitution
The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the
right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or
by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the
15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century.
