Hello!

Whites were not obligated to pay poll taxes or take literacy tests. After African Americans were granted voting rights, many white men continued to try to restrict them from voting.
Poll taxes were a form of voting restriction because many African Americans were very poor and could not afford to pay a tax to vote. This kept many African Americans away from the polls.
In addition, literacy tests were also used to restrict voting rights. White men explained that if a person is illiterate, he should not vote because he may not thoroughly understand what he is voting for. This lead to literacy tests, which were used to sway African Americans away from the polls because many were illiterate and/or uneducated.
White men did not need to pay poll taxes or take literacy tests because many white men were well-educated and all were openly accepted at the polls.

Answer from: Quest

music always has an important role in culture and societies, infact for example rock’n roll music has conditioned different areas of pop culture above all in the 60s. in the modern american society its role is different.

unfortunately many think about how some unfortunate events happened to the columbine high school shootings can be related to rock music just because the teenagers involved listened to this kind of music.

i think that we can valorize the change to take refuge in this genre of music to keep on in everyday life, teenagers are comfortable when they can listen to a song about a specific problem. realizing that someone else is living your personal drama too can them to feel less lonely nowadays.

"many parents in our community work full time," alma replied. "they don't have enough income to pay a child-care provider. and now you're suggesting that they should be arrested for crimes their children commit? how are they supposed to feed their families if they are in jail? shame on you for suggesting such a thing! i support the families now tax that provides funds for child services." "the last thing we need is another tax," fred said. "local nonprofit agencies should children instead." which candidate’s statement implies he or she has sympathy for the problems of working families and would tend to support their platform? alma: “i support the families now tax that provides funds for child services." alma: “they don't have enough income to pay a child-care provider.” fred: "i believe that people should take responsibility for their actions." fred: "local nonprofit agencies should children instead."
