    In this photograph, President Johnson is signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with Dr. King one of its biggest supporters behind him. This act is one of the most important legislations during this time because it outlawed any unlawful treatment of minorities through voter registration and segregation in the workplace, school or in public.

    It later became stronger in its enforcement which led to the election of  minority officials in the Judiciary systems and in the US Government as a whole.
