The Civil Rights Act of 1964 contained several provisions that aimed to address racial discrimination and promote equal rights. One of the most significant provisions in the act that invalidated the "separate but equal doctrine" of Plessy v. Ferguson is Title II.
Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in public accommodations based on race, color, religion, or national origin. It made it illegal to segregate individuals by race in places such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, and other establishments that provided public services.
The "separate but equal doctrine" was established by the Supreme Court in the Plessy v. Ferguson case in 1896. The decision allowed racial segregation in public facilities as long as the separated facilities were deemed equal in quality. However, the provisions in Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 directly contradicted this doctrine by prohibiting any form of racial segregation in public accommodations.
By invalidating the "separate but equal doctrine," the Civil Rights Act of 1964 marked a significant turning point in the fight against racial discrimination and segregation in the United States.
