What movement tried to end racial discrimination?

• A. Civil rights
• B. Abolition
• C. Prohibition
• D. Temperance

Answer: (A)

Focusing on movements that fought inequality, this item looks for the effort aimed at ending racial discrimination in everyday life and law. The Civil Rights Movement in the United States sought to dismantle segregation and guarantee equal rights for Black Americans through legal challenges, nonviolent protests, and pressure for comprehensive legislation. It targeted discrimination in schools, public facilities, voting, housing, and employment, leading to landmark laws like the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Abolition was about ending slavery in the 19th century, not specifically addressing the broader system of racial discrimination in modern society. Prohibition and Temperance aimed to restrict or ban alcohol, not to combat racial inequality.
