The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that aimed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It prohibits unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations. This act was a significant achievement of the Civil Rights Movement, which sought to secure equal rights for all citizens. The act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson and marked a crucial step toward achieving equality in America. It established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to help enforce its provisions and protect individuals from workplace discrimination. The Civil Rights Act has had a lasting impact on American society and continues to influence civil rights legislation today.
