1965 Alabama Literacy Test
WEIGHT:  20 XCREDIT POINTS
DUE: Tuesday, 13 September 2016
Literacy tests were used to keep people of color -- and, sometimes, poor whites -- from voting, and they were administered at the discretion of the officials in charge of voter registration. If the official wanted a person to pass, he could ask the easiest question on the test -- for example, "Who is the president of the United States?"

The same official might require an African-American person to answer every single question correctly, in an unrealistic amount of time, in order to pass.


You MUST complete ENTIRE TEST to receive XCREDIT PTS.
