What does the Civil Rights Act of 1968 primarily address?

  1. Voter registration procedures

  2. Education reform

  3. Discrimination in housing

  4. Public transportation segregation

The correct answer is: Discrimination in housing

The Civil Rights Act of 1968 primarily addresses discrimination in housing. This was in response to the ongoing issue of racial segregation in housing, where people of color were often denied the opportunity to buy or rent homes in certain neighborhoods. This act made it illegal to discriminate against anyone based on race, color, religion, or national origin when it comes to selling or renting housing. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the main purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
