Episode Synopsis

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was preeminently groundbreaking; it precipitated the end of Jim Crow laws, secured Black Americans' equal access to public facilities, and enabled the breaking of racial barriers in the workplace. Overarchingly, it prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Martin Luther King Jr.'s efforts had much to do with the passing of this pivotal law, as did--some would say, surprisingly--the efforts of his contemporary, President Lyndon B. Johnson. In this episode, John sits down with David Marshall, author of the book "God Bless Our Divided America", to talk about this monumental time in America's history and its relevance to today's racial climate.
