Eight days after the violence, President Johnson sent a bill to Congress which outlawed discriminatory voting laws that had kept black people off the voting rolls and provided for federal examiners to oversee voter registration in areas where voting rights were endangered. President Johnson signed that bill, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, into law on August 6, 1965 and the number of black voters in the South rose.
The March on Washington D.C was for freedom and jobs for the black man.
The impact that it had on Civil Rights was very significant because before the march President Kennedy was not happy that the march was going to take place, however when he realised that it was going to happen and that there was nothing he could do about it, he decided to support it. After the march President Kennedy was very impressed and decided to sign the Civil Rights Bill. This was a huge step for African-Americans.
It led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

the Montgomery bus boycott
One of the most significant events of the civil rights movement prior to 1960 was the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955-1956. It started when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to give up her bus seat to a white person. This action sparked a year-long boycott of the segregated bus system and led to the desegregation of buses in Montgomery, Alabama. The boycott became a powerful symbol and inspired further civil rights actions.
