Civil Rights Act (1964)
Segregation? Canceled. The Civil Rights Act was America’s overdue patch update for equality. It outlawed discrimination by race, color, religion, sex, or national origin — basically making Jim Crow go bye-bye. Some say it fulfilled the Constitution’s promise; others say it just started the real fight. Either way, it’s top-tier legislation that changed everything.
