Fifteenth Amendment

Section 1.

"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."

Section 2.

"The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

This is definitely an important amendment since it gives people the right to vote. When this amendment was created in 1869, women weren't allowed to vote and they had to wait another 50 years. Voting is a right that we sometimes take for granted, but we have to remember that there are many countries in which you can't vote to decide who is in power. 

This illustration is very interesting because we can see the first African American to vote in the United States. 

In this other illustration we can see a black man going to vote, while a group of white man around him look with unhappiness and disappointment.
