Before JFK was killed he was trying to get the Civil Rights act passed. The Civil rights actof 1964 was a bill that expanded voting rights, strengthened equal employment opportunity, and guaranteed all americans the rights to use public facilities.

All it took for a teacher was inspiration, a vision, and a pen on paper. President Lyndon B. Johnson was an educator that took an unexpected turn to alter history. But through the course of his legacy, people ask, why did he sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964? He signed the bill for principle reasons because of the emotions from his past career, his bravery to sacrifice, and because of his personality and background (DOC A, C and E).

Back in the fifties and sixties there were many prejudice and racist people in America. They would discriminate whoever was different or whoever they did not like. Many of those different people had their limited rights violated or infringed. So therefore in order to stop all of that nonsense, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed an act to stop it. I know that the reason why Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was because of his principle.

The 1964 civil rights act was the most important step to civil rights in American history. The act became law when Lyndon B. Johnson signed it in 1964. Although it was a huge victory for civil rights activists, many people questioned his true motives behind the passing of the act. Was it because he wanted to be elected for a second term, or was it because he wanted to follow what he felt was best, regardless of the consequences? Lyndon B. Johnson signed the act out of politics because the public now had a different stance on civil rights, there were more people to vote for someone who supported civil rights then there were those who opposed it, and he switched his position on the issue when

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address defined the American government as an institution “of the people, by the people, [and] for the people”. Lincoln had an idealistic view of the government as an instrument for societal change. He, as well as the founding fathers, intended for the government to act in support of the people’s will or the majority rule. This democratic definition of the government has remained true throughout the course of American history. By placing all of its power on its citizens, the government itself did not decide the course of history but rather followed it. This follower mindset is seen through the government’s positive interactions with marginalized groups’ who in their attempts to overcome exclusion gained

There are many controversial decisions that were made in the last 100 years in American history. One of the most important decisions made in my opinion was the decision to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. In today's world, it would sound crazy to tell someone that they are not equal to the rest of society. Luckily, people today don't have to deal with laws that take away their individual rights and cause discrimination against them. African Americans were segregated in all aspects of society, such as going to segregated school districts and having segregated public places away from Caucasian people.Without the hundreds of boycotts, marches, protests and federal government enforcement to end racial inequality among people, we would not have the Civil Rights Act of 1964 today that allows African Americans the right to vote, citizenship, education equality, and the ability to share public places. Many people agreed on this becoming law, and others refused.

In order to appreciate the advancements that civil rights have brought to today’s generation we must first look back at how life was prior to President Lyndon B Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Act outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, thus ending segregation and promoting integration and it empowered African-Americans’ with voting privileges. This was a way to govern and enforce both social justice and social benefits.

Equality is an important staple in which America was founded on. In the years since America’s making, the US has made many advances for equality for women, people of color, rich and poor, and veterans.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 resulted from one of the most controversial House and Senate debates in history. It was also the biggest piece of civil rights legislation ever passed. The bill actually evolved from previous civil rights bills in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. The bill passed through both houses finally on July 2, 1964 and was signed into law at 6:55 P.M.
