Description

In schools and restaurants, voting booths and employment lines, life changed drastically for Americans 50 years ago this summer. National leaders approved the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964. The legislation brought some sweeping changes to the country’s racial divisions, but it didn’t eliminate all boundaries, according to Gardner-Webb University Assistant Professor of History Dr. Joseph Moore.
