The Federal Voting Rights Act, passed in 1965, made tests such as this one illegal Alabama Literacy Test Take this quiz to see whether you would have been able to vote before 1965 if you were not white. http://kpearson.project.tcnj.edu/int...iles/test.html Alabama Literacy Test Parts "B" and "C" In a typical Alabama literacy test, Part "A" required you to read out loud to the registrar's satisfaction a section of the Constitution (and in some cases verbally interpret it to his satisfaction). You then had to write out a section. After that, you were given Parts "B" and "C" which were two sets of four written questions that you had to answer. The parts "B" and "C" we display on this website are some examples from workbooks that Citizenship School teachers, such as the young woman in the photo at left, used to teach applicants what to expect when they went down to the courthouse to register. For that reason, the correct answers for each question are shown. http://www.crmvet.org/info/litques.htm ![]()
