Document Summary
What is the difference between de jure segregationvs. de facto segregation. De jure segregation is denoted and recognized as law; de facto segregation happens by fact or practice and is not necessarily recognized by law. Primarily a voting bill; first civil rights legislation passed since reconstruction. Busing is the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools in such a manner to overcome effects of residential and racial segregation on local school demographics. Some of these plans are still in use today. Why were the civil rights act of the 60s needed? (since wealready have the 14th amendment?) To stop groups and the private sector from discriminating. Forbade discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, and national origin. Title 2: outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion in public accomodations. Title 6: prevents discrimination by government agencies that receive federal funds. Title 7: prohibits discrimination by covered employers on basis of race, color, religion.
