Protesting to Demand Rights

Question 3 • HVA 26-27 IM Contemporary World Problems A

How did states discriminate against nonwhite voters? Select three options.

Answer
A
by sponsoring voter registration drives
B
by charging voters taxes before they could vote
C
by allowing only white voters in primary elections
D
by asking African Americans to vote only in primaries
E
by intimidating African American voters at the polls
F
by organizing peaceful sit-ins and marches

Explanation

States used poll taxes to make voting harder by requiring voters to pay before casting a ballot. They also barred nonwhite voters from white primaries, limiting their influence in elections. Intimidating African American voters at the polls was another way to suppress their votes; voter registration drives and peaceful protests sought to expand civil rights, not discriminate.
