      The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the most important Civil Rights Legislations in United States history. It has been a great foundation for the nation moving forward in its mission to promote equality and freedom. The law was passed on a moral issue over the Jim Crow Laws, a legal argument over the Constitution, and an emotional memorial for John F. Kennedy. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was necessary for the United States, and really set the tone for Civil Rights back in the ‘60’s. The law is not perfect however, and things can always be added to make it better. Today, though, I am thankful that we have come to a point where some of my best friends are of a different race/ethnicity than I am, as it has been one of the biggest blessings of my first year of college.
