$500 QUESTION FROM CIVIL RIGHTS
What did the Civil Rights Act do and why is it
important?
$500 ANSWER FROM CIVIL RIGHTS
It prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion,
and national origin in voting, education, and the use of
public facilities. It is significant because for the first time,
the federal government was able to enforce desegregation
in almost all aspects of society.
It is important because if not for the Act, much of how we
function as a society today would not be possible, and hate
and bigotry would still be socially acceptable.

MISSILE CRISIS
Why was there a “crisis hotline?”
$500 ANSWER FROM CUBAN MISSILE
CRISIS
Messages sent between Washington and Moscow
could take up to 7 hours to be delivered. In that time,
one side could think the long delay was because the
other side didn’t want to respond, and attacks could
have been ordered. Both the U.S. and Soviet Union
had forces ready to fight, so it was essential to have a
quick form of communication to avoid
misinterpretation and needless war.
