Question 25 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Why were the Detroit Riots of 1967 significant?

Answer
A
They caused an immediate change in US law.
B
Many people died and were injured during the riots.
C
Segregation officially ended after the riots.
D
They caused a second summer of rioting.

Explanation

The Detroit Riots were significant in part because they caused a great deal of loss and injury: 43 people died and more than 1,000 were injured. That makes “Many people died and were injured during the riots” the correct choice. The riots did not immediately change U.S. law or officially end segregation.
