remedy these wrongs, seventy per cent of the blacks who voted, voted for JohnKennedy in the 1960 election.
For the first two years following the election, Kennedy did little to keep his promise to black America. It wasn't
until the summer of 1963 that President Kennedy starting pushing harder for better civil rights legislation. He tried
to educate the citizens of America on the hardships that Negro citizens had to endure. A black child had only about
half the chance of graduating from high school that a white child had. There were two black adults without jobs for
every unemployed white adult. Statistics declared that a black person would probably live seven fewer years than a
white on average. Kennedy declared that something needed to be done.Kennedy's plans were put on hold when he was assassinated in November of 1963. Civil Rights leaders weren't
sure what would happen. The new president, Lyndon Johnson, was an unknown leader to them. Would he follow
through with the plans of President Kennedy? Just days after the death of President Kennedy, the answer came.
President Johnson called for the passage of a civil rights bill to stand as a memorial to Kennedy.Johnson knew that passing a comprehensive civil rights bill would not be easy. Southern members of the House
and Senate were vehemently against such an act. One senator went so far as to say that he and others from the
South would fight as long as it took to keep from having to mix the races in the South. In February of 1964, the
House of Representatives passed the Civil Rights Act by a vote of 290-130. The Senate was a harder sell. Southern
senators called for a filibuster. The filibuster is a technique that has long been used to try to keep a bill from being
passed. Basically, the group against the bill will start speaking and won't quit talking until the other side gives up.
President Johnson was able to reduce the effect of the filibuster and eventually cause it to be called off. He called
for every religious leader of every faith and every color to converge on the Senate and lobby the senators.
Lobbying consists of having conversations with the lawmakers trying to convince them that it is in the best interest
of themselves and their constituents to pass a bill. It worked. The Senate vote was 73-27. President Johnson signed
the bill into law on July 2, 1964.This new law made racial discrimination in public places illegal. These public places included restaurants,
theaters, hotels, and stores. Employers had to offer jobs with equal pay to all races. Voting laws were changed in
the South. Their voting laws had to be the same as those found in the North. Anyone or any state government who
did not abide by this new law could have any funds that were paid by the federal government to the state stopped.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the most complete and widespread set of laws to come from the federal
government since the founding fathers had penned the Constitution and adopted it in 1789. It had taken a long
time, but for many African Americans it was worth the fight.
