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. By the fifteenth amendment, no citizen of the U.S. can be denied their right to vote because of their color. This was a big step in the right direction for our country, although many more steps were required to gain equality.
Here a black man is given the liberty to vote, under the fifteenth amendment.
I think this is a witty depiction of blacks overcoming obstacles to vote.
