Newspaper headlines after violence at civil rights march ir Which of the following claims does the author support the LEAST? A White segregationists used violent means in order to end the march in Selma. B Media outlets across the nation covered the events of Bloody Sunday. C A nonviolent protest resulted in national attention about injustice. D The marchers in Selma were successful in ending discrimination.

Answer 1

The author LEAST supports the claim that **D. The marchers in Selma were successful in ending discrimination.**While the Selma marches, including Bloody Sunday, significantly contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, they didn't end discrimination altogether. The violence highlighted the injustice and put pressure on the government to act, but discrimination persisted in many forms after the marches and continues to this day. The other options are more directly supported by the idea of newspaper headlines after a violent civil rights march: violence was used against the marchers (A), the event garnered national media attention (B), and the initially nonviolent protest became a focal point due to the violence (C).
