NBC News Archives Features Key US Civil Rights Footage
In 1965, US President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, outlawing many of the discriminatory practices that had long obstructed African Americans’ right to vote. Public outrage over the murder of three young voting rights activists in Mississippi by the KKK, demonstrations against the brutal treatment of peaceful protesters in Selma by state troopers, and the tireless work of Civil Rights activists around the nation culminated in this legislative achievement.

On the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on August 6th, NBC News Archives is sharing footage capturing that historic moment. Highlights include footage of the signing itself, President Johnson’s comments on the Act, and coverage of the crackdown on peaceful protesters at Selma.
View footage highlights.
