Black Men over 21 were granted suffrage (the Right to Vote) in 1863, in the 14th Amendment. That Amendment has been assumed to cover All non-White men, since it does not specify color. Women were allowed to vote in 1920, with the 19th Amendment. Young people between 18 and 21 were added in 1971, with the 26th Amendment.
