Answer 2

The correct answer is A. It raised awareness of civil rights through TV coverage.

Step-by-step explanation:

In August of 1963 hundreds of citizens especially African-Americans gathered in the Lincoln Memorial at Washington, D. C. in the US to publicly show the government the need for laws that protected the rights of African-Americans especially policies and laws that promoted equal conditions at jobs and freedom as inequality was still an issue. Additionally, this massive event accomplished its purpose because it was widely covered by the media as the event was filmed and broadcasted through Tv not only in the U.S. but even in other countries. In this way, citizens and politicians became more aware of the fight for civil rights led by African Americans.
