d. improve voting rights in the South.

The Civil Rights Act address the issue of discrimination however, voting restrictions were still an issue in the South.

Voting restrictions included literacy tests and poll taxes which limited the ability of blacks to vote in the South. Civil rights activists fought to have a law passed which would outlaw the practice of using voting restrictions. The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 which stated state and local level barriers to voting must be removed.
