Voting rights in the United States
Hi. I reverted this edit, but my edit summary wasn't very good. I see that you pointed up the year the 15th Amendment was passed. That Amendment prohibits federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". You simplified that down to "black men". It seems to me that the paragraph at issue already says that -- just not as explicitly. The paragraph in question is the second paragraph of the lead section of the article, and that section is meant to provide an introduction to the article and a summary of the article body. The explicit detail which you added there is covered in the body of the article. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:40, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
