Well 'by law' it would have been with the passing of the 13th Amendment on Dec. 6, 1865. That prohibited slavery therefore outlawing the 'owership' of another human being. On July 9, 1868 the 14th amendment was passed that made African Americans U.S. citizens. But, if you're referring to Civil Rights Act as in general respect...That was 1964.
