If I were a black man in 1964, what I would care about the most would be the Civil Rights Act. I would hope that President Johnson would continue to push for it.
I would know that the Act had already been proposed by Kennedy, but that he could not gather enough support for it. However, I would believe that the act needed to be passed in order to ensure black people were treated equally under the law. The act would include the prohibition of unequal voter registration requirements and school segregation.
