Step-by-step explanation:

False. The movement challenging the denied innocence of black life is not a recent development in the restaurant industry. Historians have uncovered civil rights cases involving restaurants during every year of the early 1900s. In fact, dozens of civil rights cases were discovered in the Midwest, with about a third of them resulting in victories for black plaintiffs. Although the number of lawsuits declined over time due to minimal penalties and insufficient compensation, the possibility of being sued for discrimination did reduce overt forms of discrimination in states with civil rights laws.
