The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States^[1] that outlawed major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women, including racial segregation. It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public ("public accommodations").

This past Monday, July 2, 2012, marked the 48th year since the United States enacted a major piece of legislation - The Civil Rights Act of 1964.
=============

The bill was called for by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11, 1963, in which he asked for legislation "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments," as well as "greater protection for the right to vote." Kennedy delivered this speech following a series of protests from the African-American community, the most concurrent being the Birmingham campaign which concluded in May 1963.

Emulating the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Kennedy's civil rights bill included provisions to ban discrimination in public accommodations, and to enable the U.S. Attorney General to join in lawsuits against state governments which operated segregated school systems, among other provisions. However, it did not include a number of provisions deemed essential by civil rights leaders including protection against police brutality, ending discrimination in private employment, or granting the Justice Department power to initiate desegregation or job discrimination lawsuits.

After filabusters and more delays for speeches, hearing, maneuvering and drafting, the law was passed and signed by President Lyndon Johnson, 36th President, July 2, 1964.

Today, July 6, 2012, African Americans are yet fighting police brutality, suppression of voting rights, segregation, massive discrimination and elected officials failing to enforce the laws on the books to complete the sentence - All Men are created equal.

The Good News is, we shall overcome because we, The People, every generation, will no longer tolerate racial and gender injustices.
