kennedy's civil rights proposals led to the civil rights act of 1964. president lyndon b. johnson, kennedy's successor, took up the mantle and pushed the landmark civil rights act through a bitterly divided congress by invoking the slain president's memory. president johnson then signed the act into law on july 2, 1964. this civil rights law ended what was known as the "solid south" and certain provisions were modeled after the civil rights act of 1875, signed into law by president ulysses s. grant.
