A moment in Black History The struggle may be a moral one; or it
may be a physical one; or it may be
both moral and physical, but it must be
a struggle. Power concedes nothing
without a demand. It never did and it
never will.” Frederick Douglass, 1849

February 8, 2015 A moment in Black History The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, is considered one of the crowning legislative achievements of the civil rights movement. First proposed by President John F. Kennedy, it survived strong opposition from southern members of Congress and was then signed into law by Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. In subsequent years, Congress expanded the act and also passed additional legislation aimed at bringing equality to African Americans, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965

Women and the Civil Rights Movement
Racist policies often kept African-American women out of the suffragist movement. The
headquarters of Colored Women Voters, located in Georgia, was one of many early 20th-century organizations that fought for African-
American suffrage.
July 2, 1964 President Johnson signs the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. The most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, the
Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination of all kinds based on race, color, religion, or national
origin. The law also provides the federal government with the powers to enforce
desegregation.

“We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations,
but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious
prejudice”. ~Carter Woodson, 1926
