In this episode of "Coffee Chat with Camille," we delve into the motivations behind President Lyndon B. Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act and explore the recent actions by President Donald Trump to rescind certain civil rights protections.
Background:
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, aiming to end segregation in public places and ban employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This landmark legislation was a significant step toward equality and justice in the United States.

In 1965, Johnson furthered his commitment to civil rights by issuing Executive Order 11246, which prohibited employment discrimination by federal contractors and mandated affirmative action programs to promote equal opportunity.

Fast forward to 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity," which revoked Executive Order 11246. This action effectively ended affirmative action requirements for federal contractors, aiming to eliminate diversity programs and shift focus toward merit-based employment practices.
