The civil rights act of 1964 was aimed at elimination discrimination by..........?


1. by government in their conduct of elections
2. by private individuals in their social relations-bigoted statements and other acts of prejudice are unlawful under most circumstances
3. by governments in their job practices and provisions of services. eg. schools, roads
4. by private individuals in their employment practices and in their operation of public accommodations eg. hotels, restaurants
5. against gays and lesbians

please help me I am confused!!!!
Thank you

Not 1. That was the Voting Rights Act which was passed later.

Not 2. First amendment allows bigoted statements by individuals.

Not 3. That was already established

Yes on 4 - Employment and public accomodations could no longer practice discrimination based on race.

Not 5. Not even mentioned in the legislation.

Actually, the answer is both numbers three and four. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. It affected both the public and private sectors. It was the most sweeping civil rights legislation since the Reconstruction era.
