Today marks 61 years since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law, finally making it possible for Black women to vote and easier for others to cast a ballot.

For decades, Black voters had to endure literacy tests, poll taxes, and other measures to intentionally keep them away from the polls.
