After years of battling racial discrimination and braving
state-sanctioned violence -- with hundreds of Southern black churches
set fire to and scores of citizens beaten or murdered for daring to
challenge American apartheid -- the civil rights movement achieved a
climactic victory when President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the
Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6, 1965. It was the outcome of ''a shining
moment in the conscience of man,'' declared the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr. In less than two years, the nation did more to advance equal rights
for minorities than at any time since Abraham Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation.
