Civil+Rights+Act+of+1964

The Civil Rights Act dealt with many obstacles facing African Americans in 1960’s society. JFK broke many barriers in the process of desegregating the United States. He urged congress to enact a civil rights bill for many years, continuously receiving negative results. Kennedy created a bill in which black Americans had similar rights to those of whites. Two days after this was proposed to Congress, Kennedy was assassinated. [|1].

After JFK's death, Lyndon Johnson continued to push for racial freedom. He managed to pass the bill during his term in office. The main changes were voting rights for African Americans, and desegregation of public schools. These two movements brought greater changes to U.S. society than any other act of the 1960's. Lyndon Johnson is well known for his civil rights achievements.

It is clear that this act was the most nationally accepted civil rights movement in U.S. history. The Act has 11 specific sections, each addressing various aspects of discrimination in American life. Title 1 is all about voting rights, while title 5 has to do with changes to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
