Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing a culmination of the long and hard-fought battles leading up to and during the Civil Rights Movement, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a historic piece of legislation. The act ended segregation in public facilities and schools, prohibited unequal voter registration requirements, and proposed several other reforms. Although it was slow to take effect in many areas and was just one step of many in the continuing struggle for equality, it was a critical juncture in United States history. This volume examines the impetus for the act, its implementation, related legislation, and lasting impact through the present day. • Even on the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, debate surrounding the Voting Rights Act continues and civil rights violations abound. This volume reminds us that the lessons and sacrifices leading up to the act should never be forgotten.

Download or read book On the Limits of the Law written by Stephen C. Halpern and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Limits of the Law is Stephen Halpern's compelling examination of the legal struggle to control the enforcement of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act -- the historic provision prohibiting racial discrimination in programs receiving federal financial assistance. Although the provision appeared to have immense power to fight racial inequality in education,Halpern argues, attacking the problem through legal rights and litigation distorted our understanding of educational inequality based on race and limited the remedies used to address it. "Stephen Halpern has made a substantial and original contribution to the analysis of law and civil rights. Concentrating on original or primary sources and including very informative interviews, he offers a superb review of the historical and political context of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the United States Supreme Court's desegregation decisions. All who are interested in civil rights history and enforcement, the administrative process, and the role of courts in pursuing racial and social justice will want to read this book." -- Kenneth Tollett, Howard University
