• W1189960566 abstract "EDITORS' FOREWORDOn July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law after months of Congressional debate and after decades of activism and advocacy by those struggling to achieve equal rights for all Americans. Upon signing the bill, President Johnson called the American people to action:This Civil Rights Act is a challenge to all of us to go to work in our communities and our States, in our homes and in our hearts, to eliminate the last vestiges of injustice in our beloved country. So tonight . . . I urge every American-to join in this effort to bring justice and hope to all our people-and to bring peace to our land.1With the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act's passage came an opportunity to evaluate the past, present, and future of this landmark legislation and to reflect on its successes as well as its limitations. This anniversary invited consideration of what equality means in America today and what has and has not changed in the fifty years since President Johnson told his fellow citizens that we have come now to a time of testing. We must not fail.2To celebrate this landmark anniversary, Boston University School of Law held a Symposium examining the Civil Rights Act's history, considering its present-day implications, and looking forward to the changes yet to be achieved in our law and society. Held from November 14-15, 2014, the Symposium reflected upon the relationship between social movements and law reform and the evolution of prohibited classifications over time through amendments to the Act, judicial decisions, and civil rights legislation.Speakers considered the impact of the Act on understandings of and expectations about public and private spaces and civic life and how subsequent civil rights laws continue to shape those expectations. What are some of the continuing challenges and controversies concerning ending discrimination in, for example, education, employment, housing, and public accommodations? Speakers addressed the problems that public agencies and private plaintiffs have confronted in proving discrimination under the 1964 Act and subsequent civil rights laws and will consider contemporary challenges in addressing inequality and discrimination.Holding this Symposium was particularly meaningful for Boston University School of Law because of the school's special connection to the Civil Rights Movement and the Act: BU Law School is proud to have among its alumni leading civil rights lawyers and politicians, such as the late Senator Edward Brooke, co-author of the Fair Housing Act; Barbara Jordan, the first southern black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives; and Howard Moore, who worked with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund on major civil rights cases. In addition, the Boston University School of Theology trained the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and other civil rights leaders, and Dr. King, in 1964, the year he won the Nobel Prize, donated his papers to Boston University. To highlight this relationship, the School of Theology held a reception for conference participants, at which Walter E. Fluker, Martin Luther King Jr. Professor of Ethical Leadership, offered remarks.Panel I: Historical PerspectivesProfessors Margaret Burnham, Serena Mayeri, George Rutherglen, and Gavin Wright commented on the Civil Rights Act through a variety of historical lenses. From considering the Act's economic significance (Wright) to the role intersectionality played in Title VII's development, passage, and implementation (Mayeri), the panelists looked at the factors that made the Civil Rights Act possible and its overarching impacts in the years that followed its enactment. Professor Bruce Schulman offered commentary on the papers.Panel II: Classifications and Categories in the 1964 Act and in Subsequent Civil Rights LawsProfessors Henry Chambers, Courtney Joslin, and Michael Waterstone presented, and Professor Joseph Fishkin participated, with commentary offered by Professor Kathryn Zeiler. …" @default.
