Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) - On July 2, 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.
This act is said to be a victory for justice in the United States. It prohibits legal discrimination based on race, gender, sex, religion and national origin.
The federal government desegregated schools, as well as public facilities in order to give equal rights to all.
Linda Ann Lewis is a Waco native who was in high school when the act was passed and said she remembers it like it was yesterday.
