The Civil Rights Movement - President Lyndon Baines Johnson
14novembre
Dear students of Terminales L and Terminales STMG,
Please find attached the article dealing with President Lyndon Baines Johnson (in office from 1963 until 1968), who was considered a civil rights reformer for two big federal laws - the 1964 Civil RIghts Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act - which paved the way for putting an end to segregation and any form of racial discrimination.
The GIF below shows President LBJ signing the CRA, which turned out to be the most sweeping legislation against segregation.
