Answer:

White racism was the cause of the Summer of Violence in the 1960s. The equal voting facilities to the black African Americans was the outcome of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a federal legislation in the United States that forbids racial discrimination in voting. The result of Freedom Summer was the awareness of voting rights in African Americans. Freedom Summer did not succeed due to not getting many voters registered, but it had a great effect on the Civil Rights Movement. the march in Selma was a success because due to this march, the Congress passed the Voting Rights Act.

And an even bigger share of Americans — 53 percent — told pollsters American culture and "way of life" have mostly changed for the worse since 1950
