Final answer:
The Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited housing discrimination and, by extension, practices like steering and blockbusting, although they were not explicitly mentioned in the Act.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 was a significant law that prohibited discrimination in housing practices. Two practices that were not explicitly mentioned in the Act but are still prohibited are steering and blockbusting. Steering refers to real estate agents directing prospective homeowners towards or away from certain neighborhoods based on race or ethnicity. Blockbusting is the practice where real estate agents would induce panic selling among homeowners by suggesting the entry of a minority group would devalue properties. This then allowed agents to buy homes at a low price and sell them at a higher price to minorities. Both practices perpetuate segregation and inequality, and modern state laws complement the Federal Fair Housing Act to ensure they are prohibited.
