Which major goals did the civil rights movement achieve in the United States in the 1960s? Select all that apply.

A. protection of minority voting rights
B. end of segregation in public schools
C. economic relief in urban areas
D. desegregation of the military

Answered by admin @



The correct answer is A) protection of minority voting rights.

The ending of segregation in public schools was a major achievement of the civil rights movement. However, this took place in the 1950's not 1960's. The end of legal segregation of public schools happened after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling (1954).

The desegregation of the military was also an important achievement. However, this was not completed in the 1960's. This was done by Harry Truman through Executive Order 9981, which was implemented in 1948.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 helped to protect minority voters from the use of poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses. This shows why letter A is correct.
