	Civil Rights Act of 1968 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On April 11, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (also known as CRA '68), which was meant as a follow-up to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
		While the Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibited discrimination in housing, there were no federal enforcement provisions.
		The 1968 expanded on previous acts and prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap and family status.
