Poll taxes made it hard for African because African americans at the time the richest as they just came out of slavery and if they didn't have enough money they could not vote.

Literacy tests made it hard for those even with a

college education because the prompt would be confusing. Keep in mind that the test is timed and you may not have any incorrect answers. Thankfully in 1964, the voting rights act suspended literacy tests.
