The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the most sweeping reforms of racial inequality in the United States. It prohibited discrimination based on race or color in the workplace, public accommodations, public facilities, union membership, and federally-funded programs. The act was a victory for the civil rights movement and the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. On signing the bill, President Johnson gave a speech regarding the equal treatment of people.
