Who did the voting rights act of 1965 more  - whites or african americans? explain your answer.

It definitely helped the African Americans. Anything that eliminated literacy tests was going to help African Americans. The 14 and 15 Amendments were almost useless as long as voting depended on overcoming restrictions. Realize that after the civil war the slaves were supposedly freed. They were but now they were economic slaves.

The Voting Rights Act did away with many of the unjust practices that had been in place.
