Question

I WILL GIVE THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER TO ANYONE WHO CAN ANSWER THIS!!!Explain how the 1964 Civil Rights Act came to be passed and how Georgians resisted it.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, is considered one of the crowning legislative achievements of the civil rights movement. First proposed by President John F. Kennedy, it survived strong opposition from southern members of Congress and was then signed into law by Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. In subsequent years, Congress expanded the act and passed additional civil rights legislation such as the Voting Rights Act of 1964.

Answer 2

Answer:

It was passed after much protesting by colored americans who wanted equal rights. People in the south including georgia resisted it because they did not believe that colored people should be or were equal. The law ultimately was not entirely succesful but did lessen discrimination for colored americans
