Take it as you will, and since you asked the question...

one.
Answer,
The 15th Amendment Ratified in 1870 -
"1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
The 19th Amendment Ratified in 1920 -
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
The civil rights act you speak of was in response to court rulings that smeared the intent of the 15th amendment in some states
So I guess the answer to your question is, everyone had the right to vote.
