Civil Rights Act of 1964
What Was the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a groundbreaking piece of legislation that forbade segregation in public places due to religion, race or national origin, reports History.com. It also banned employment discrimination and created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce its provisions against segregation in the workplace. Additionally, the law mandated school desegregation and equality in voting requirements.
How Did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Change American History?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, legally known as public law 88-352, changed American history by outlawing de jure discrimination and segregation for protected attributes such as race, gender, color, religion or national origin. Although de facto inequality persisted after its passage, the bill gave the government legitimate recourse to end racial inequality.

What Was the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a groundbreaking piece of legislation that forbade segregation in public places due to religion, race or national origin, reports History.com. It also banned employment discrimination and created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce its provisions against segregation in the workplace. Additionally, the law mandated school desegregation and equality in voting requirements.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a culmination of civil rights protests in the early 1960s, explains History.com. President John F. Kennedy first proposed the legislation in 1963, and after his assassination, President Lyndon Johnson signed it into law on July 2, 1964. The bill prompted the longest filibuster in U.S. history in the Senate but eventually its supporters obtained the support to end the delay. During preliminary debate about the legislation, a senator added an amendment that also forbade gender discrimination in employment. The House of Representatives approved the bill by a vote of 290 to 130, and the Senate passed it with a vote of 73 to 27.
Later, legislators expanded the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include the elderly, the disabled and women in collegiate athletics, according to History.com. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 enabled further progress toward legally eliminating segregation. Although segregationists used various illegal and legal means to continue discriminatory practices, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave Americans a legal means to address civil rights abuses, notes Lisa Vox for About.com.How Did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Change American History?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, legally known as public law 88-352, changed American history by outlawing de jure discrimination and segregation for protected attributes such as race, gender, color, religion or national origin. Although de facto inequality persisted after its passage, the bill gave the government legitimate recourse to end racial inequality.
The eleven titles of the act addressed inequality for protected statuses in voting registration laws, public accommodations, government agencies, employment and schools as well as strengthened the scope and powers of the Civil Rights Commission, established in 1957. It also gave allowances for situations where the threat of discrimination could prevent a fair hearing in a court of law.
The background for the 1964 passage of the Civil Rights Act was preceded by two substantial laws: the Civil Rights Act of 1875 and the Civil Rights Act of 1957. The former, which contained much of the same language as the 1964 law, was enacted to protect African Americans from discrimination but was later struck down by the Supreme Court in 1883 as unconstitutional. The later 1957 bill, a prelude to the sweeping changes of the 1964 act, focused on providing equal voting rights throughout the country. It came shortly after the 1954 Supreme Court "Brown versus the Board of Education" decision that forced the integration of public schools.
President Kennedy, in a 1963 speech, called for legislation that afforded equal service in public facilities, such as theaters, hotels and restaurants, regardless of personal attributes or ancestry.
What Did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Accomplish?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was responsible for outlawing segregation across the country, and for also banning discrimination in hiring processes based on sex, religion or race.
While initially passed in 1964, the bill was added upon in the years following to clarify and strengthen the effect of the bill.
The Civil War was a defining point in United States history for freedom. Although slavery was abolished and black men were seen as free, discrimination still was widespread. Legislation wasn't put in place to stop discrimination until John F. Kennedy created the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was able to get it passed by Congress.Additional Link:
