How Did The Civil Rights Act Of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a milestone in American history. This Act was enacted July 2, 1964. This is the act that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This is the act that has changed American forever. I will further explain later in this paper.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is what made it against the law to keep women from voting. It ended the unequal application of voter’s registration requirements. Congress in 1963 had just passed the unequal pay act. It’s hard to believe that women, and non-white Americans were paid less than men for the exact or harder type of labor. Women actually won the right to vote in 1919 and Congress ratified it in 1920. There were so many stipulations to that right until 1964’s Civil Rights Act came into play. …show more content…
This Act caused many riots, young people fighting one against another. People were very upset during this time because they didn’t want “Coloreds” in the schools.

This part of this Act in my opinion was good at the time frame, but would I be wrong to say that maybe if we weren’t so busy trying to not be judgmental or unequal maybe we wouldn’t be in such a mess with all these terrorists. I have heard that it was noticeable they were acting strange. They learned to fly planes over our soil. Makes me
