The Civil Rights Act accomplished when it ended public segregation. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, is a law that ends social discrimination, prohibiting the differentiation of workers based on race, color, religion, nationality, and gender.

EXPLANATION  

The Civil Rights Act was firstly projected by John F. Kennedy which made him safe from the huge attacks done by the opposition members of the southern Congress. Yet, it was not him who passed and signed into the law because it was Lyndon B. Johnson (Kennedy’s successor) who officially signed the Civil Rights Act into law.  

The Civil Rights Act is a law that considers humans as equal so that there is no sense of a superior nation or superior individual. All humans and nations are the same. Thus, the Civil Rights Act is considered to be the highest legislative achievements in resolving the issue of separation of civil rights.  

In addition to solving the problem of racial, religious, gender, and national discrimination the law also targets businesses and trade unions to establish an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and allows the authority to file lawsuits if there are workers who feel disadvantaged. Later, in subsequent years, Congress strengthened the law by passing additional civil rights laws such as the 1965 Suffrage Act.
