Alabama Literacy Test
This is the literacy test administered in Alabama in 1965 to keep blacks from registering to vote. The examiners could ask prospective voters 2 or 60 questions, and a single wrong answer could prevent you from registering to vote if you were black (but not if you were white.) This literacy test (and background information) are available elsewhere on the web, but I copied this from a 1965 newspaper article I’ve kept all these years.
