The acts passed during the administration of Lyndon Johnson were the culmination of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.
This set the stage for great changes in the 1960s, but not without tragedy. Medgar Evers, the black veteran stopped by a white mob from voting, became a civil rights leader in his native Mississippi. Because of his civil rights activities, he was shot and killed in front of his home by a white segregationist in 1963.
