| dc.description.abstract | The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made major changes in the relationship between Anglo-Americans and African Americans in the United States. This important statute declared illegal a segregated society, and put into the books of law the rights promised by the U.S. Constitution. This thesis analyzes President Lyndon B. Johnsons rhetorical efforts to ensure passage of this important piece of legislation. Through a combination of public and private persuasion, President Johnson helped put on the books a law which many pundits had believed unpassable. | en |
