Political speaking could you pass the 1964 Literacy test in Louisiana for the right to vote?

It would be nice if the link was in simple, easy for anyone to understand language.

That was the Southern mentality back then. Sorry Confederates, it's true.

Another thing they used to do was to ask them if they could read and write. They would give them a book written in Latin and ask them to read it.

Then, for the writing test, they would give them a cheap pen and a piece of paper coated with butter.

You can see how these "tests" would come out.

Some of these same politicians who supported these tactics later had the gall to ask for black people's votes.
