Explanation:

1. Stand on eliminating racist violence: During the Progressive Era, while there were some efforts and awareness - raising about social issues, racist violence was still prevalent. For example, lynchings and racial discrimination in various forms continued. So, it was RESTRICTED. Evidence could be the continued occurrence of lynchings in the South. This shows that despite some social reform efforts, racist violence was not effectively curbed.
2. Constitutional amendment: The 14th Amendment could have helped further advance eliminating racist violence. It guarantees equal protection under the law. Racist violence often violates the equal protection rights of minority groups. By having this amendment, there is a legal basis to prosecute those who engage in violent acts based on race as it is a violation of the equal protection clause.

Answer:

• Evidence 1: Continued occurrence of lynchings in the South
• Explanation 1: Shows that racist violence persisted despite reform efforts

1. Constitutional Amendment: 14th Amendment

• Explanation: Guarantees equal protection, and racist violence violates this right.
