Question

"Public concert in the Square this Saturday night; white section-first 10 rows."

How could this advertisement be reworded to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Question 16 options:

A. "Public concert in the square this Saturday; must be African American to attend"


B. "Public concert in the square this Saturday night; All sections open to the public."


C. "Public concert in the square this Saturday night; people of all race and national origins are welcome but only men are allowed."

Answer 1

The correct answer is B "Public concert in the square Saturday night: All sections open to the public."

This is the correct answer because the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it illegal for discrimination based on race to take place in public places such as movie theaters, concert venues, restaurants, hotels, etc. The statement in the question would break this law, as it enforces segregation. So changing it to letter B would make it so that all people have an equal opportunity to see the concert.
