Correct choices: poll taxes and literacy tests.
Explanation: Poll taxes and literacy tests were used in the South in the early 1960s to block African Americans from voting. The 15th Amendment protected voting rights (not a barrier). Voter registration drives and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party were efforts to overcome disenfranchisement. Grandfather clauses had been struck down earlier (by 1915) and were not a legal barrier in the 1960s.
