Question

What does it mean to say that after 1920 African Americans were the largest group of disenfranchised citizens?

Answer 1

The dictionary definition of disenfranchised is to prevent (a person or a group of people) from voting so that means that African Americans was the most known race for being prevented from voting!!!!

Answer 2

This means that blacks were the largest group of people who did not have the right to vote and choose their representatives.

The guarantee of voting rights by blacks was only really respected from the advances of the civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Considering the history of race relations in the United States to date, the advances made during those years were truly extraordinary . Segregation was overcome, definitive suffrage was extended to black people through the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the federal government instituted equal opportunity and affirmative action programs to combat racism.
