Answer 4

Origins

John F. Kennedy addresses the nation about Civil Rights on June 11, 1963

John F. Kennedy addresses the nation about Civil Rights on June 11, 1963



The bill had been introduced by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11, 1963,[1] in which he asked for legislation "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments," as well as "greater protection for the right to vote."



He then sent a bill to Congress on June 19. Emulating the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Kennedy's civil rights bill included provisions to ban discrimination in public accommodations, and to enable the U.S. Attorney General to join in lawsuits against state governments which operated segregated school systems, among other provisions. But it does not include a number of provisions deemed essential by civil rights leaders including protection against police brutality, ending discrimination in private employment, or granting the Justice Department power to initiate desegregation or job discrimination lawsuits

Answer 5

Yes it is well known that this issue caused a rift between Northern and Southern Democrats. What you do not seem to want to tell us is that the beneficiaries of that rift were the Republican Party that welcomed with open arms the Southern Democrat voters and leaders that opposed this legislation.

Answer 6

Racism is prominent in both parties and the Republicans are the worst at it, however many in the Democrat Party are still racist and attempt to hide it, such as like the Clintons who have done well at hiding their racism until this year, and the Mexicans who want to reign over the country who should not be party to our government legislation at all. Get a grip.

Answer 7

Well, I'm pretty sure whoever voted against it would be considered "conservative" at the time whether they were democrats or republicans. The parties values change over time, you know.

Answer 8

you are correct to point that out about the democratic party of the 60's,but you fail to leave out the fact democrats were CONSERVATIVES in the 60's,so the roles have changed and now republicans are the conservatives and continue to promote conservative values that are still the same now as they were in the 60's.



good point,but i think this is going to backfire on you.

Answer 9

What does that matter? Gore is not his father and just being this man's son does not mean he shows the same views. My ownfather has pretty much the opposite politic views of myself.

Answer 10

The most important issue is that it was finally passed into Law! What took so long! America has a lot to answer for as far as treatment of Blacks in America! However Blacks loved America when America didn't love them back!

Obama 2008!

Ebony & Ivory President!

Answer 11
