How did president kennedy respond to the violence in birmingham

Answered by admin @



President Kennedy responded by promoting civil rights laws such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

After the Birmingham riot, which started as a mass protest for racial justice in May 1963, Kennedy was forced into action and do something about issues on civil right.

The following month, he proposed civil right laws such as the Civil Rights Act. However, he didn't get the approval from the Senate to pass the law. And, unfortunately, he was assassinated at the end of the year. It wasn't until the new President Lyndon B. Johnson pushed the bill forward that it was passed, on July, 1964.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is considered one of the most important U.S. law on civil rights, an essential to achieving full legal equality. The act aimed to end social discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.
