Answer 1

To accurately place the key events in the Civil Rights Movement in chronological order, we can refer to the approximate dates of each event:

1. Double V Campaign (1942) - Initiated during World War II to promote fighting for freedom abroad and equality at home.
2. Executive Order 8802 (1941) - Issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, prohibiting racial discrimination in the national defense industry.
3. Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) - A pivotal protest against racial segregation on public buses in Montgomery, Alabama.
4. Civil Rights Act (1964) - A landmark legislation prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
5. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963) - A massive rally for civil rights that included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
6. Voting Rights Act (1965) - A significant piece of federal legislation designed to enforce voting rights and eliminate discriminatory practices affecting minority voters.

Based on this chronology, the correct order should be:

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
