Hi there!

The passage of the Black Codes in many southern states enraged both northerners and African Americans across the country. In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act over president Andrew Johnson's veto as well as the Reconstruction Act of 1867. These acts effectively outlawed discrimination on basis of race and granted equal rights to all under the Constitution. They also guaranteed that a citizen's right to vote could not be denied "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." All of these actions effectively invalidated the Black Codes. However, the road to reconstruction was still a long and rocky one.

The correct phrases to link:

early settler in Israel
female head of state

Details:

Golda Meir was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), in 1898. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1906, where they settled in Milwaukee, WI. Golda Meir became a Zionist activist and helped raise funds for the settlement and establishment of Israel. She and her husband moved to the Palestine Mandate territory in 1921, becoming settlers in a kibbutz there. (Kibbutzes were collective farming settlements.)

Meir later went on to become prime minister of Israel, holding that office from 1969 to 1974. She was the fourth prime minister of Israel, and has been the only woman to hold that office. Meir was in office as prime minister during the time that Israeli athletes were attacked at the Munich Olympics in 1972, and also during the October War in 1973 (also known as the Yom Kippur War or the Ramadan War).
