Solution

The television had a significant impact on the Civil Rights Movement. It allowed Americans to watch the news each day and see non-violent protesters being attacked. This brought the harsh realities of racial segregation and discrimination into the living rooms of millions of Americans, making it a national issue rather than a regional one. It also helped to galvanize public opinion in favor of the Civil Rights Movement. Therefore, the correct answer is "Americans can watch the news each day and see non-violent protesters being attacked".
