Which protection is provided today by the civil rights act of 1964 as a result of later provisions? it bans discrimination in public places. it prohibits de facto segregation in local neighborhoods. it protects people by due process of law. it requires equal funding for women’s athletic programs.

The correct answer is A.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws discrimination in the US on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, or nation of origin. The ultimate goal of this legislation was to ensure that all American citizens were treated equally in society. There were several provisions made to this law, including legal punishments for places that remain segregated, employers who discriminate based on race,sex, color, religion, or nation of origin, and it stopped state and local governments from segregating public places (like swimming pools).
