Hello! The Civil Rights Act was put into place so that both African Americans and Caucasian Americans could live together in an equal world. Although some things were still segregated, they had a tad bit more freedom than before. The main reason for it was to end public segregation. It did that mostly as it was against the law to do it then.
I hope this helped!
I am, yours most sincerely,
