The correct response is:
- It banned housing discrimination but also included an Anti-Riot Act.
Explanation: The Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act) was a major step forward because it prohibited discrimination in housing. At the same time it contained provisions (the Anti‑Riot Act) aimed at criminalizing and controlling unrest after King’s assassination, reflecting ongoing tensions about law-and-order responses and limits to the broader social and economic reforms many activists sought.
