As a result of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, African American voter registration rates surpassed white registration rates.

The Fifteenth Amendment of 1870 gave Black Americans the right to vote but a lot of states in the South found a way to get around this by imposing provisions such as literacy tests and poll taxes. The ensured that not a lot of African Americans were registered to vote in those states.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed this and paved the way for Black Americans to vote. Because they had been denied their rights for so long and due to encouragement from Black leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, a lot of Black people registered to vote over subsequent years.

This eventually led to Black American voter registration rates surpassing white registration rates in the 21st century.

Here is the order of voting rates once the Voting Rights Act was passed: African American voter registration in many states lagged far behind registration for whites. In March 1965 in Alabama, African Americans were registered at 19.3% versus white registration at 69.2%. As African American voter registration increased, so did the number of African American elected officials. By 2010, the difference was gone.

As we can see in November 2010, voter registration for African Americans was at 69%. And white registration was at 61.7%.
