presidents Lyndon b. johnson and John f. kennedy
Although Lyndon's accomplishments are rather small in number compared to other people, his accomplishment in civil rights is perhaps the most important out of all the other turning points in civil rights history. He signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended division and discrimination based on color, race, religion, etc. However, he didn't create this policy. The late President John F. Kennedy initially fought to enact this policy, but he died before he could officially put it in effect, since he was assassinated for his ideas, which other people didn't appreciate or want to occur. Even one accomplishment or one document can change the whole view towards one topic, and this bill proved just that. It disallowed discrimination, which is definitely one of the most if not the most important United States law on civil rights.
