The impact from the Civil War for civil rights gave former slaves their freedom, but soon after, segregation took its place and it wasn't until the 1960s that African-Americans really got their rights for good.
The Civil Rights Act is actually called The Civil Rights Act of 1964. The exact date it was enacted was July 2, 1964. Lyndon B. Johnson is the president who signed it into law.
The most comprehensive civil rights legislation was passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination for reason of color, race, religion, or national origin in places of public accommodation, and anything covered by interstate commerce. That included restaurants, hotels, motels, and theaters. The act also forbad discrimination in employment and discrimination on the bases of sex. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect the right to vote. Federal observers would be placed at the polls to make sure all citizens had the right to vote. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 outlawed discrimination in housing and the selling of real estate. Supreme Court decisions in 1954 and 1955 declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional and the court's rulings in 1955 banned segregation in publicly financed parks, playgrounds, and golf courses. Women began to push for their civil rights also. In 1963 the federal Equal Pay Act was passed and the states followed suit. This prevented men from being paid higher salaries for the same job the women would do and receive less pay. The ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) intended to prohibit all discrimination based on sex but it failed to win ratification. The Equal Rights Amendment was reintroduced in Congress on July 14, 1982 and has been before every session of Congress since that time.
The civil rights act of 1964 allowed the federal government to dictate private actions. The government could tell private businesses they had no right to exclude minorities.
Although there were other civil rights acts passed earlier, the first major civil rights act was passed in 1964. The president at that time was Lyndon B. Johnson who signed the bill into law on July 2, 1964.
