Brinkmanship in the Cold War

Question 11 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which best describes how postwar housing practices affected African American opportunities for homeownership?

Answer
A
The GI Bill stopped housing discrimination, so African Americans could buy suburban homes like everyone else.
B
Discriminatory policies often kept African Americans from buying homes in suburban communities.
C
After the war, African Americans could buy suburban homes more frequently, which helped make things more equal.
D
Government policies made it possible for African Americans to buy homes in any suburb, helping with racial integration and equal opportunities.

Explanation

After World War II, federal housing programs and private real-estate practices often excluded African Americans from suburban neighborhoods and home loans. This meant many Black families could not take advantage of the same opportunities to build wealth through homeownership as white families. Choice B best describes this discrimination; the GI Bill did not end it.
