Question

Which event would eventually lead to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act?

March on Washington

Albany Movement

Atlanta Race Riot

Montgomery Bus Boycott

Answer 1

The event that ultimately led to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This protest began in 1955 and lasted until 1956, when city buses were finally racially desegregated. The boycott called attention to racial injustice throughout the United States and helped pave a path for future civil rights legislation such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
