History

Historical Context

The 1964 Civil Rights Act, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2 1964 after a 73-27 Senate vote, outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Decades later, Reform UK’s challenge to a National Audit Office internship limited to Black, female or low-income applicants echoes the Act’s effort to prevent exclusion, reviving debates over reverse-discrimination and future Equality-Act litigation.
