The Civil Rights Act of 1968, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, provided for equal housing opportunities regardless of race.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act 1968 (also known as the Fair Housing Act of 1968) is a law that was introduced in the United States on September 11, 1968, which made it illegal to discriminate against people because of skin color, religion or nationality when selling property or renting out a home. The law was part of the Great Society reform program.

It banned the following types of discrimination, which are sometimes referred to as redlining:

- Refusal to rent or sell an apartment or house to a person for reasons of race, skin color, religion or nationality.

-A different treatment of a person in the conditions of renting or selling.

-Coercion, threats and intimidation or influence over the use of the rental and purchase rights as well as measures against persons or organizations that support the use of these rights.
