One way that President Lyndon Johnson promoted civil rights was by signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. This landmark legislation outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and ended segregation in public places. Johnson also took steps to strengthen voting rights for African Americans by signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting practices. These actions helped to advance the cause of civil rights and promote equality for all Americans.
