The modern Civil Rights Movement started with the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. The purpose of the movement was to make sure that all citizens, all races, all religious groups and all nationalities are treated equally under the law. The movement started in the South to protest segregation that existed legally in some of the Southern States. The most comprehensive civil rights legislation was passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination for reason of color, race, religion, or national origin in places of public accommodation, and anything covered by interstate commerce. That included restaurants, hotels, motels, and theaters. The act also forbided discrimination in employment and discrimination on the bases of sex. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect the right to vote. Federal observers would be placed at the polls to make sure all citizens had the right to vote. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 outlawed discrimination in housing and the selling of real estate.
