Answer 1

After the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, it was no longer legal to a)deny someone a job because he or she was black. However, this piece of legislation included people of all colors and was passed because it made illegal to discriminate against somebody due to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This is considered a landmark act.
