This article talks about Lyndon Johnson’s priority of passing JFK’s civil rights bill. He enlisted the help of the NAACP, as well as various members of congress in order to secure the passage of the bill. A compromise bill as a substitute for the original was announced, which was passed one year after JFK’s proposal. This law prohibited discrimination in the workplace, public accomodations, public facilities, and agencies receiving federal funds, as well as strengthening prohibitions on school segregation and discrimination in voter registration.
