Final answer:

Southern communities violated African Americans' voting rights through literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses.

These measures were designed to disenfranchise African Americans by imposing financial barriers, educational hurdles, and discriminatory exemptions to voting requirements, effectively suppressing their political participation.
