The 15th amendment to the US Constitution prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of race. There was never a Federal law to prevent them from voting. Many areas allowed them to vote before the amendment was ratified. The some is true of women voting.

The 15th Amendment, which made it illegal to prevent someone from voting based on their race, was ratified in 1870.
