Question

What conclusion can you draw about the effects of civil rights legislation?

Answer 1

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 stopped segregation in public places as well as it forbade employment discrimination. A year later, the US Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that provided all men with the right to vote regardless race, color, religion, sex or national origin. As a result, it is possible to think that the Civil Rights legislation paved the way to the continuing struggle against racism by means of legal support.
