About the Art: In the 1950s, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., whose policy of non-violent resistance won the support of many Americans. The violence with which Southern white authorities treated King and his followers inspired not only nationwide outrage, but more importantly, judicial and political intervention. By the time President Johnson succeeded to the Presidency, pressure for racial equality was irresistible, and the Congress passed an all-embracing Civil Rights Act which, if enforced, should have ended discrimination in America forever. The Act outlawed racial discrimination in all public accommodations, in jobs and in public housing. It provided effective protection of African-Americans at the ballot box and authorized the Attorney General to intervene wherever necessary to enforce these laws. As long as the Warren Court lasted, the potentialities of the Civil Rights Act were fully realized. Subsequent shifts in the judiciary has made progress uneven.
