  • Description

    The 1964 Civil Rights Act, in conjunction with the Voting Rights Act of the following year, totally transformed the shape of American race relations. Legacies of the 1964 Civil Rights Act brings together a distinguished group of political scientists, historians, lawyers, statisticians, and sociologists who have written extensively on civil rights issues. Because the moral urgency of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was triggered by revulsion against racial segregation, the act’s legacy is primarily seen in the life chances of African Americans.
