Correct
a.) segregation continued despite the passage of laws to eliminate it.
Explanation:
In July 1960, Democrats nominated John Fitzgerald Kennedy for president, who defeated Republican candidate Richard Nixon.
Civil rights were the main domestic issue during Kennedy's term. State Attorney General Robert Kennedy lobbied vigorously for an end to racial segregation in schools and for minority voting rights.
Blacks and their white supporters continued their anti-discrimination demonstrations.
Of particular note is the concentration of more than 250,000 people in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963, at which Martin Luther King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. With this act, the black movement achieved worldwide recognition.
In 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize and in 1965 Congress passed a bill on civil rights against racial discrimination.
By 1966, the impatience of young black activists eroded some of Martin Luther King's support. His strategy had proven inadequate to solve America's most complex racial problems.
As soon as the 1960s began, a new attitude began to nest in the consciousness of blacks: Black Power was embodied as a philosophy of resistance to white power. Stokely Carmichael, a student leader, and Malcolm X, a spiritual guide for Muslims in New York's Harlem neighborhood, became the new benchmarks for armed struggle.
By 1973, most of the leaders of the "Black Panthers" were dead or had fled the country. The Black movement waited for a new leader.
On the other hand, the war that then continued with full force in Vietnam made it unviable to solve the local problems of human relations.
In Chicago, local Black Baptists publicly opposed him, and demonstrators clashed with white gangs, armed with sticks and led by uniformed neo-Nazis and members of the Ku Klux Klan.
With respect to the Vietnam War, although many felt that their problems were losing priority and that Black leadership should concentrate on fighting racial injustice within the United States, Luther King (1967) had associated himself with the leaders of the anti-war movement, regardless of their color.
White violence then found its answer. Young black leaders abandoned the principles of nonviolence and cities became real battlefields.
King lost leadership and was never able to regain it, because at the same time, through a bullet, he also lost his life while resting on the balcony of a Memphis hotel on April 5, 1968.
King was only 39 at the time of his death. He had never wavered in his insistence on promoting nonviolence as the main tactic of the civil rights movement, nor in his faith that everyone in America would one day achieve justice and equality.
