Answer 1

To determine which of the presented tables accurately captures the key events in the fight for Black American civil rights in chronological order, let's first outline the timeline of the events listed:

1. Double V Campaign (1942) - This campaign emerged during World War II, advocating for victory against fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home.
2. Executive Order 8802 (1941) - This order prohibited racial discrimination in the national defense industry and was a response to pressure like the Double V Campaign.
3. Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) - This was a pivotal event in the civil rights movement that aimed to end racial segregation on public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama.
4. Civil Rights Act (1964) - This landmark legislation prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
5. Voting Rights Act (1965) - This law aimed at overcoming legal barriers at the state and local levels preventing African Americans from exercising their right to vote.
6. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963) - This march sought to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans.

With this chronological outline in mind, we need to examine each table provided:

1. The first table includes:

   • Double V Campaign
   • Executive Order 8802
   • March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
   • Montgomery Bus Boycott
   • Voting Rights Act
   • Civil Rights Act

   This order is not correct because the Montgomery Bus Boycott occurred before the March on Washington.

2. The second table includes:

   • March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
   • Executive Order 8802
   • Montgomery Bus Boycott
   • Double V Campaign
   • Voting Rights Act
   • Civil Rights Act

   This order is incorrect because the March on Washington occurred after the Double V Campaign and the Executive Order 8802, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott occurred before them.

3. The third table includes:

   • Montgomery Bus Boycott
   • March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
   • Executive Order 8802
   • Civil Rights Act
   • Double V Campaign
   • Voting Rights Act

   This order is incorrect as it places the Montgomery Bus Boycott first but then has the events out of sequence.

4. The fourth table includes:

   • Executive Order 8802
   • Double V Campaign
   • Montgomery Bus Boycott
   • March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
   • Civil Rights Act
   • Voting Rights Act

   This table is incorrect because while Executive Order 8802 properly comes before the Double V Campaign, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, March on Washington, Civil Rights Act, and Voting Rights Act need to be rearranged chronologically.

None of the tables listed contain the events in the correct chronological order. The correct chronological sequence should be:

1. Executive Order 8802 (1941)
2. Double V Campaign (1942)
3. Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956)
4. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963)
5. Civil Rights Act (1964)
6. Voting Rights Act (1965)

Thus, please ensure the tables provided are reassessed, as none currently reflect the correct historical timeline.
