ANSWER: White Primaries

Step-by-step explanation: The law that kept African Americans from nominating candidates for office is White Primaries. It is a primary election in the Southern USA where only the white people were permitted to contest. This law was established by the state Democratic Party units or by state legislatures in many Southern states after 1890. A 1944 case in Supreme Court decided that this rule was unconstitutional and forced Georgia to African-Americans to vote.
