You're welcome.
To answer the question, we need to consider the impact of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 on promoting racial equality in housing.
A) Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education are Supreme Court cases that dealt with racial segregation in education, not housing. Therefore, option A is not relevant to this question.
B) The Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Fair Housing Act, was specifically designed to address housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin. This act expanded upon and strengthened the provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which did not specifically focus on housing discrimination. Therefore, option B is correct because it directly addresses discrimination in housing.
C) Title IX is a federal law that addresses gender discrimination in education, particularly in relation to sports. It is not directly related to racial disparities in housing. Therefore, option C is not relevant to this question.
D) The Fifteenth Amendment, passed in 1870, granted African American men the right to vote. While voting rights are important, they are not directly related to housing discrimination. However, option D is correct because it suggests that the voting rights granted by the Fifteenth Amendment were not sufficient to challenge discrimination in housing.
E) The Fifteenth Amendment primarily focused on granting voting rights to African American men and did not explicitly include women's suffrage. Although women's rights are significant, this option is not directly related to housing discrimination and racial equality. Therefore, option E is not relevant to this question.
Based on the explanations provided, the two correct answers for why the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 had the greatest impact on promoting racial equality in housing are:
B) Because it addressed more specific discrimination than did the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
D) Because the voting rights extended by the Fifteenth Amendment were not enough to challenge de jure and de facto discrimination.
