The 15th amendment relates too the Civil Rights act because it states that African Americans can vote. however they were given a hard test that was very unfair because the questions were mostly only correctly answered by white educated people. after 1964 this test was removed.

First proposed by President John F. Kennedy

Lyndon B. Johnson is one of the main reasons the Civil Rights Act was passed because he knew all of weakness and strengths of the participants of the filibuster

there was a 75 day filibuster,one of the longest in U.S.history,  between southern viewpoints  and democratic viewpoints

Johnson would call people from all viewpoints of  bill he would call Dr. King, Governor George C. Wallace, Senator Everett Dirksen , Richard B. Russell Jr., ECT. Johnson would call them in the morning  and in the night.

Johnson's arm twisting worked because the bill fought its way through congress and was passed in 1964

The filibuster was broken by republicans and democrats

The Civil Rights Act was signed into law on 1964 by Lyndon B. Johnson with 74 different pens

Senator Robert Byrd was a former Ku Klux Klan member and spoke for over 14 hours opposing the Civil Rights bill
