Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the correct answer as it ended segregation in all public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Voting Rights Act of 1966 prohibited racial discrimination in voting, the Equal Protection Clause is a part of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction equal protection under the law, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 granted citizenship and equal rights to freed slaves. However, it was not effective in ending segregation and did not explicitly ban employment discrimination based on protected characteristics.
