The chief objective of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This landmark legislation aimed to eliminate segregation in public places and schools, paving the way for greater equality in various aspects of American life. The Act provided for the enforcement of voting rights and included provisions to prosecute discriminatory practices in the workplace. By addressing social injustices and inequalities, it represented a significant victory for the Civil Rights Movement, establishing a legal framework for challenging discrimination and promoting civil rights in the United States.
