Which statement about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is true?

• A. It Only Addresses Voting Rights
• B. It Bans Discrimination in Voting Rights, Public Accommodations, and Facilities, Education, and Equal Employment
• C. It Established the Fair Housing Act
• D. It Guarantees Free Healthcare

Answer: (B)

The law targets discrimination across several key areas that affect everyday life. It prohibits denying people service or access in public places (like hotels, restaurants, theaters), bans discrimination in employment, and pushes for desegregation in education, while also addressing voting access. Because these broad protections span voting, public accommodations, education, and employment, that statement reflects the Act’s actual reach. The Fair Housing Act came later, in 1968, and this statute does not guarantee free healthcare.
