Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, "prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the most well known of the American Civil Rights Acts, largely because Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. championed the legislation so publicly. The act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. There have been seven Civil Rights Acts altogether. However, there was no Civil Rights Act of 1954. The U.S. Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education was the 1954 legal milestone regarding racial equality. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 dealt with fair housing. The Civil Rights Act of 1991 pertains to employment issues, as related to the rights of employees who sue their employers for discrimination.
