This year commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act, signed into law by President Lyndon Baines Johnson on July 2, 1964, prohibited discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal.

Texans were an integral part of the act, and the legislation continues to influence Texas law and lawyers. The May 12 issue of Texas Lawyer is devoted to remembering the lawyers, images and issues that were part of this landmark piece of legislation.
