Johnson signed into law the historic Civil Rights Act in a nationally televised ceremony at the White House. The Senate voted on the bill itself and passed it, 73 votes to 27 on June 19th 1964 \u2013 one year to the day that John Kennedy had sent it to Capitol Hill. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was the greatest advance in American equality in a hundred years. Why does this still matter to us? Why do we still talk about it? Share your opinions."}
