Answer 1

The correct answer is:

D. It meant racial segregation would no longer be allowed in colleges and public schools.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a landmark piece of legislation that prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Title IV of the Act specifically addressed desegregation in public schools and authorized the federal government to assist in enforcing this desegregation.
