Which president signed the civil rights bill?
LBJ in 1965
What law abolished segregation?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (brought by JFK, but signed by LBJ) abolished segregation in public accommodations; Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed by LBJ, abolished unfair voting practices (too many to name); and the 24th Amendment, which abolished the poll tax on voting the year before (1964).
In his earlier years in Congress what was Johnson's position on national civil-rights laws?
If you are asking about LBJ he wasn’t in the “early days” of congress. He served in the senate and when JFK was shot became president. This is the 1960’s and not the 1700’s. He pushed the Civil a Rights Act forward until it was passed in 1965. LBJ had the power to get it passed. He had been in Washington for years so knew all the secrets of congress.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was significant because what?
It was passed by LBJ in 1964, and it helped stop the descrimination towards african americans and other minorities. this is a huge step for the african americans because they now have a little bit more rights/equality, but thats not what the public wanted. people did not want to be equal with a black man at the time. even though tooday there are still people like that, it is very unlikely for them to do anything about it. Hope this helped :)
