The Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed by President Lyndon Johnson, aimed to eliminate discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It prohibited segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations, and established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce these rights. The Act was a landmark piece of legislation that significantly advanced the Civil Rights Movement and laid the groundwork for further reforms in the pursuit of equality.
