The Voting Rights Act of 1965 it was a milestone in US federal law because it set an end to discriminatory electoral practices arising from racial segregation in the United States. The law was sanctioned by President Lyndon B. Johnson at the height of the civil rights movement on August 6, 1965, following the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The act allowed black people to vote, so the segregation could stop, black people could be part of the US as a whole.
