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.

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.
