Answer:

During Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction period, black people faced significant challenges when it came to voting. Many Southern states implemented discriminatory laws and practices such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation tactics to prevent black people from exercising their right to vote. It wasn't until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that these barriers were effectively dismantled, allowing black people to vote without discrimination.
