Sixty years ago today, on July 2, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson, a Texas Democrat, signed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial segregation in public places and prohibited racial discrimination in employment.

Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater voted against the historic civil rights bill. Two weeks later, Republicans nominated him for president. Image
