Question

African-Americans faced continuing discrimination from 1960-1980. Which aspect of discrimination did Congress make the BIGGEST effort to address during this period?

A) equal pay
B) voting rights
C) women's rights
D) bus segregation

Answer 1

The correct answer should be A) Equal pay.

African-Americans have had voting rights since the Emancipation Proclamation while Women had it since the 20s. Bus segregation was a thing but wasn't as important as other segregation laws regarding schools and universities and jobs. The congress wanted to end the practice of women and african-americans having lower pays than white people which was a common practice.
