Read the following scenario. Jacob Smith is an African American man in his fifties. He heads to a local restaurant for dinner and is told by the hostess that he is going to have to sit on "that side" of the establishment, as she gestures to a part of the restaurant where only other African Americans are sitting. Mr. Smith feels offended and leaves the restaurant. Based on passage of the Civil Rights Act, what is Mr. Smith’s best recourse? calling the police to arrest the restaurant owner and investigate any violations of local law contacting the US Justice Department about filing a potential discrimination lawsuit demanding that the restaurant’s manager stop segregating customers immediately asking the US Census Bureau to send him data on dining among restaurants in the area.

Respuesta :

The civil rights Act provides the citizens with various rights. One right is that the people should not be segregated on the basis of gender or race which is granted by the law and any inconsistency is declared as unconstitutional.

Best Recourse for Mr. Smith

The restaurant was practicing segregation of people by separating the Blacks and the whites and making sitting arrangements accordingly.

Mr. Smith can go to the US Justice Department and file a suit against restaurant owner as the restaurant has discriminated him on the basis of color.

Therefore, based on the passage , Mr. Smith's best recourse would be "contacting the US Justice Department about filing a potential discrimination lawsuit" OPTION B is correct.
