The event that occurred before the Orangeburg Massacre and outlawed race-based discrimination in the United States is the **Civil Rights Act of 1964**. The Orangeburg Massacre took place in 1968, and the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, making it a significant legislative milestone in the fight against racial discrimination.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 also addressed voting rights and discrimination, but it was enacted after the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Plessy v. Ferguson was a Supreme Court decision from 1896 that upheld racial segregation, and the First Amendment is a part of the U.S. Constitution focused on free speech and does not specifically address race-based discrimination.
Thus, the correct answer is the **Civil Rights Act of 1964**.
