The passage of that law marked a turning point in the civil rights movement?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 marked a huge turning point in the Civil Rights movement. This law made it so that employers could not discriminate against candidates based on race, gender, religion, or birth place. This law helped to ensure that African-Americans would be able to be judged based on their qualifications/skills rather than their skin color. Any employer who broke this law could face federal charges.
