Which law addresses racial segregation?

• A. 1964 Civil Rights Act
• B. 1972 Title IX
• C. 1990 ADA
• D. 2002 NJ Code

Answer: (A)

Racial segregation is addressed by a landmark federal statute that outlawed discrimination based on race across many areas of public life. This act forbids segregation in public accommodations, prohibits employment discrimination, and bars discrimination by programs receiving federal funds, with provisions that helped desegregate schools and enforce civil rights nationwide. It provided the enforcement power and nationwide scope needed to dismantle segregation in education, workplaces, and public facilities. The other options don’t fit because they target different protections: Title IX focuses on sex discrimination in education, the ADA on disability discrimination, and a state code covers state-level law rather than this broad federal civil rights framework.
