To determine which of the provided tables presents the key events in the fight for Black American civil rights in the correct chronological order, we need to look at the historical timeline of these events:

1. **Double V Campaign** - This campaign began during World War II (around 1942).
2. **Executive Order 8802** - Signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941, it prohibited racial discrimination in the defense industry.
3. **Montgomery Bus Boycott** - Began in December 1955 and lasted through December 1956, sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest.
4. **March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom** - Took place on August 28, 1963.
5. **Civil Rights Act** - Passed on July 2, 1964.
6. **Voting Rights Act** - Enacted on August 6, 1965.

Now, based on this timeline, the correct chronological order of events is:

1. Double V Campaign
2. Executive Order 8802
3. Montgomery Bus Boycott
4. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
5. Civil Rights Act
6. Voting Rights Act
