Did you know that each year from 1945 until 1957, Congress considered and failed to pass a civil rights bill? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was finally signed on this date 60 years ago, outlawing workplace discrimination. Then-Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz helped implement new antidiscrimination regulatory responsibilities under the act as well as desegregate Labor Department staff. Today, our Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ensures federal contractors comply with workplace nondiscrimination and affirmative action laws. Visit dol.gov/ofccp to learn more. In the first photo, civil rights leaders Bayard Rustin and Cleveland Robinson are shown at the March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom held the year before the act was passed (credit: Library of Congress). The march helped pressure the Kennedy administration to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill in Congress. In the second photo, President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the act with civil rights leaders in attendance. (Credit: White House Press Office)
