Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 after President Lyndon Johnson brokered an end to a Senate filibuster opposing the legislation. The new federal law was intended to end most forms of racial segregation and discrimination, in general.

When were speed limits invented?

The first speed limit was passed in England in 1865, setting a limit of 10 miles per hour on trains operating in the country. The first speed limit on automobiles also comes from England; in 1896, a limit of 14 miles per hour was set on what was called at the time "light locomotives". Local governments were given discretion to lower the limit to 12 miles per hour in their towns.


Who was President when US public schools were desegregated?

Desegregation of the public schools took place over a long period of time, due primarily to Southern resistance. Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson were the Presidents in office during the civil rights era, when most of the integration occurred.President Dwight D. Eisenhower was in office when the US Supreme Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional and ordered desegregation take place at "all deliberate speed" (a vague time frame). Although integration began during the Eisenhower administration, the President didn't support it strongly so progress was slow.President John F. Kennedy, who was elected in 1960, verbally supported the civil rights movement, but was concerned that pressing for integration too rapidly might anger Southern whites and create difficulty passing civil rights legislation in Congress. Many people, including the President's brother, US District Attorney Robert Kennedy, felt he could do more. In the year before his assassination, President Kennedy proposed initiatives that formed the foundation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.President Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy's successor, broke a Southern filibuster in the Senate and pushed Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed most forms of racial discrimination. This finally provided a means of policing and enforcing the Supreme Court's decisions in Brown v. Board of Education I and II.

What caused the problem in Little Rock?

After the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Ed. that ordered that schools be desegregated "in all deliberate speed," attempts to integrate Little Rock High School was made. However the governor of AR sent troops to stop this integration. In turn, the President sent federal troops to enforce desegregation as he viewed the move by the AR Governor as a threat to the authority of the national government. Federal soldiers finally ended up forcing desegregation and because of the federal troops, the first black children started to go to Little Rock High School which was to that point a white-only school.

What US Supreme Court cases integrated schools?

Three important cases, Brown v. Board of Education,(1954), Bolling v. Sharpe, (1954), and Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955), declared public school segregation unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. Brown v. Board of Education II, 349 US 294 (1955) ordered the schools to integrate with "all deliberate speed," a vague mandate that allowed many school districts to resist integration well into the 1960s.Legal desegregation wasn't really affected until Congress passed enforceable legislation in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and of 1968. The United States still has de facto (in fact, not by law) segregation in many areas due to economic and demographic conditions.
