This site, a project of NPR (National Public Radio), contains the full text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Act with line by line commentary from noted legal scholars and others. "It's been 50 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. Since then, the country's demographics have shifted, and the conversations about race and culture have continued. In this project, journalists, lawyers and civil rights activists explore the historic legislation - pulling the language out of history and telling us how it's relevant today" - Home page.
