Explain the civil liberty being violated and state the amendment or law that protects that liberty.
The cartoon has a poor white who came to take a literacy test in order to vote. The sign says, "Voters Take Literacy Tests Here," and then at he bottom of the cartoon it says, "By th' way, what's that big word?" If you just search By th' way, what's that big word? it will pop up. I think this has something to do with discrimination, but I am a little confused. Thank you!

I think that this article cleared up the confusion a bit. I think that the cartoon is showing that they put an obstacle, the literacy test, in the way of being able to vote which is a legal right for citizens. The fourteenth amendment protects this liberty. Is this correct Writeacher?
Yes, that's correct.
