Why do you think beligium is represented by a young girl?

Because this is the kind of image that Belgium wanted to convey. A young person as a representative of a country, which makes it a symbolism, as people treat young people as if they have no opinions and cannot argue, or are just a property of the parents. This girl brings a great analogy of the power of young people and how we should encourage them.

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.
