2008 test · Question 84 of 100
What movement tried to end racial discrimination?
Official USCIS answers
- civil rights (movement)
Why this is the answer
The civil rights movement was a nationwide effort, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. It led to major laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race illegal.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: 'civil rights' = rights for all citizens, so the movement to end racial discrimination is the civil rights movement.
