Granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens" of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any stay on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude

The 15th amendment gave suffrage, or voting rights to African Americans. Hope this helps! :)
