What does the 15th admement state?

The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This amendment was a key part of the Reconstruction era efforts to ensure voting rights for African American men following the Civil War. It aimed to empower formerly enslaved individuals and to promote equality in the electoral process. However, in practice, various discriminatory practices continued to disenfranchise many voters, particularly in the South.
