#OnThisDay in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders.
This bill was passed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin and more in the U.S. — but the fight for true equality continues.

What happened to Senator Alex Padilla is not an isolated incident.
Just days ago, the Department of Justice indicted Representative LaMonica McIver after she attempted to make an oversight visit to an ICE facility – and in April, the FBI arrested a Milwaukee judge.
