The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spurred the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which banned various forms of racial discrimination, most notably discrimination in this area:
  1. Marriage law
  2. Integration of public facilities
  3. Pay
  4. Housing
  5. Voting
Explanation
Answer: D - The Civil Rights Act of 1968 is also known as the Fair Housing Act due to the regulations outlined in Title VIII, which prohibit racial discrimination in the housing sector. King championed the legislation before his death, and his assassination served as a catalyst to encourage its passage under President Lyndon B. Johnson. The act also addressed issues of gender-based discrimination.
