Title II of the Civil Rights Act addresses discrimination in which area?

• A. Employment
• B. Voting
• C. Public accommodations
• D. Education

Answer: (C)

Public accommodations are places open to the public that provide goods or services—hotels, restaurants, theaters, gas stations, parks, and similar venues. Title II of the Civil Rights Act makes discrimination in these public-access services illegal, protecting people from being denied service or entry based on race, color, religion, or national origin. It targets how the public interacts with such facilities, not employment or voting or education. Employment protections come from another part of the law (Title VII), voting rights are addressed by voting-related statutes, and education protections come from statutes governing federally funded programs (Title VI) and related civil rights laws.
