The category of African indigenous religion refers to cultural, religious or spiritual manifestations indigenous to the continent of Africa. There are arguably several religions in this category. Traditional African religions involve teachings, practices, and rituals that lend structure to the African native societies. Traditional African societies reflect local conceptions of God, the Gods (if the cultures are polytheistic or henotheistic), and the cosmos. Even within single communities there may be slightly different perceptions. African traditionalists almost always acknowledge the existence of a high God or demiurge who created the universe (e.g. Shango). Many traditional African stories speak of how God or God's son once lived among the people, but as humans did something to give offense to God, God withdrew to the heavens. African religious traditions are largely along tribal and ethnic lines, with the West African Yoruba religion being the most influential.

Where did the Civil Rights Act end or did it end?
Legislators create Acts (laws) to correct a problem or to initiate a change (such as a Tax Reform). When an Act is created, it continues unless the Legislature repeals it, e.g. ends it. So as a different example, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) began in response to prejudices and unfair treatment that people with disabilities faced every day. The ADA will continue---period. It may be revised, or it can be repealed if there is good reason to do so.
The Civil Rights Act came about to try to bring order and justice for Americans who felt they had no rights, namely Black Americans. It ended, by law, certain practices that had persisted from the 1700s to the 1960s. It also tried to open new pathways for Blacks to be more equal with Whites.
By the way, in answer to "where", any Act that is repealed (ended) would occur in Congress in Washington, D.C. But the Civil Rights Act will not be repealed.

These codes prohibited black people from owning property, buying land, and made being unemployed illegal. These laws outraged northerners, which ultimately lead to reform in the form of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
