One change that came about as a result of civil rights legislation under John F. Kennedy was the integration of public facilities and the outlawing of segregation based on race. This was achieved through the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination in public accommodations, employment, and education based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This landmark legislation helped to dismantle the system of segregation and discrimination that had been in place in many areas of American society for decades.
