History
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only .002 percent of the nation's population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white "racial purity."

Which action did civil rights leaders plan in the summer of 1963 to bring national attention to racial inequity?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

In the summer of 1963, civil rights leaders planned a mass gathering and march for freedom in Washington DC to bring national attention to racial inequity.

Explanation:

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a political demonstration on August 28, 1963. It was one of the highlights of the civil rights movement in the United States. Over 200,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. and demanded the end of racial discrimination in the United States. After the march, Martin Luther King gave his famous speech "I Have a Dream" in the National Mall.

The march followed earlier demonstrations, including the Birmingham campaign earlier that year and contributed to the adoption of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
