The acts passed during the administration of Lyndon Johnson were the culmination of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.
In the early 1960s, the fundamental prize sought by the civil rights movement was something that African Americans had never known: full legal equality. When John F. Kennedy became president in 1961, African Americans throughout much of the South were denied the right to vote, barred from public facilities, subjected to insults and violence, and could not expect justice from the courts.
