Explanation:

Question 6

The Little Rock Nine were the first students to integrate the formerly segregated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. This event was a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited voter discrimination (Title I), job discrimination (Title VII), and segregation (Title II). Integration was a goal, not something prohibited.

Martin Luther King Jr. is famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech delivered during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Answer:

b. The first students to integrate the formerly segregated Central High School
