On the 2nd July 1964 President Johnson signs Civil Rights Bill



The Civil Rights Bill - one of the most important piece of legislation in American history  became law.
US President Lyndon B Johnson signed the bill creating equal rights in voting, education, public accommodations, union membership and in federally assisted programmes - regardless of race, colour, religion or national origin.
After the signing, President Johnson shook hands with civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King.
In a television address to the nation he called on US citizens to "eliminate the last vestiges of injustice in America".
"Let us close the springs of racial poison," he said.
