Explanation:

Before the Civil - Rights Act of 1964, racial discrimination was widespread in many areas, but interracial marriage was not illegal. Assaulting a minority in public, segregation of water sources based on skin color, and forcing a minority to work without pay were all forms of discrimination and illegal even before 1964, but in a more systemic and accepted - as - normal way in some regions. Interracial marriage was legally recognized in some states and was not prohibited by federal law before 1964.

A. Marry a person with a different skin color or different ethnic background.
