Answer 1

29. Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Explanation :

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 allowed the justice department to enforce non-discriminatory employment practices. This act prevents discrimination of any form in the workplace of individuals on the grounds of color, race, sex, religion etc. This act also prohibits any form of discrimination on the above mentioned grounds in hiring or recruiting employees, offering them promotions, or firing them from working further.

30. Part of the 14th amendment that guarantees civil rights to each citizen.

Explanation :

"Equal protection clause" is part of the 14th amendment that guarantees civil rights to each citizen emphasizing on equal protection by law and that state shall not deny or enforce any law depriving any individual from any privileges or immunity of being a citizen of the nation. It was the equal protection clause which was the part of 13th amendment that abolished slavery.

31. That segregation of the races in public accommodations is allowed as long as the facilities are equal.

Explanation :

The declaration of supreme Court in the court case Plessy v Ferguson (1896) legalized segregation as long as equal facilities in public accommodations are made available to the black and white races,as equal facilities were made available to them the Supreme Court held that it didn't violate amendment 14 of the Constitution, thus making 'equal but separate' legal.

32. Separate public education facilities for different races was deemed inherently unequal and unconstitutional.

Explanation :

The consequence of the decision of 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education was that in public schools segregation of children on the basis of race was inherently unconstitutional and against law and even though equal facilities are being provided to the races. Thus, it declared 'equal but separate' rule unconstitutional.
