The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was brought up during the coming of the presidency of John F. Kennedy, who was elected in 1960. This act became a law that banned all discrimination of different color, religion, or sex. But mainly, it was for the racial black discrimination that was happening at that time. From the World Book, it says, "It is one of the nation's strongest civil right laws."
The rights give the privileges of freedom of speech, vote, use of public facilities, and other employment opportunities for all people. In addition, if an individual feels as if they have been discriminated by anyone, they have the right to make a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Before the signing, there had been complaints against it. The Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination from any organization that makes any kind of profit from the federal government. They are willing to end any ongoing money distribution if any form of discrimination had been filed. Also, the Department of Education helped educate and end racial segregation.
President John F. Kennedy proposed and presented the act in 1963. After the assassination of Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson took his place and supported his work. The law was finally passed after a long term debate, the longest in Senate history.
