Question

Which of the following was part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? A. Discrimination in employment based on race was banned. B. Segregation in schools was declared unconstitutional. C. African Americans gained the right to vote. D. Poll taxes were eliminated.

Answer 1

It would be that "A. Discrimination in employment based on race was banned" that was part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964," since the other movements were prior to the Act.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Discrimination in employment based on race was banned.

Many people do not know this but the Civil Rights act was actually a primarily economic one. It forbid any employment based racism which led to numerous other acts that were similar to it, but it made African-Americans' lives easier when it came to employment. Poll taxes being eliminated and ending segregation was done by different laws which were adopted around the same time.
