c) Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 also prohibits unequal application of voter registration requirements, and racial segregation in schools, employment and public places.
It was first proposed by President John F. Kennedy. It received strong opposition from Southern members of Congress but was then signed into law by Kennedy’s successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson.
In the following years, Congress expanded the act and passed additional civil rights legislation. Read more about it here.
