This quote is from the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Fair Housing Act. This legislation prohibited discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, or sex. It aimed to provide equal housing opportunities for all individuals. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote as guaranteed by the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. The landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education (1954) declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, leading to the desegregation of schools in the United States.
