02 July 1964 - LANDMARK US CIVIL RIGHTS ACT BECOMES LAW: President
Lyndon Johnson signs a culmination of centuries of activism and
struggle, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in a televised ceremony at the
White House. The new law bars racial segregation in public places, and
discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

The legislation was proposed by President John F. Kennedy in June 1963,
but it was opposed by filibuster in the Senate. After Kennedy was
assassinated on November 22, 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson pushed
the bill forward. The United States House of Representatives passed the
bill on February 10, 1964, and after a 72-day filibuster, it passed the
United States Senate on June 19, 1964. The final vote was 290-130 in the
House of Representatives and 73-27 in the Senate. After the House agreed
to a subsequent Senate amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was
signed into law by President Johnson at the White House on July 2, 1964
