The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson at the White House on July 2, 1964. The bill was partly in response to the ongoing Civil Rights Movement, which had gained momentum in South Carolina and other southern states.
