I think your question is: which of the Amendments it was?

It was the Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870. However, it was not followed for a long time and a series of mechanisms such as the poll taxes and literacy tests were invented to effectively prevent black voters from voting, especially in the South of the US
