The goal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to eliminate racial segregation and discrimination in various areas, including employment, education, and public accommodations. This landmark legislation was a significant achievement in the civil rights movement, aimed at enforcing constitutional rights guaranteed to all citizens, particularly African Americans. By prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, the act sought to uphold the principle of equality and provide legal recourse against discriminatory practices. Its passage marked a turning point in American history, helping to pave the way for future civil rights advancements and social justice initiatives.
