Kentucky Governor Ned Breathitt signs the State’s Civil Rights Act. It is recognized by Martin Luther King, Jr., as “the strongest and most important comprehensive civil-rights bill passed by a southern state.” It ends racial discrimination in public places throughout the state, and, on the recommendation of Republican Representative Jesse Warders, the only Black member of the General Assembly, repeals dead-letter segregation laws including the “Day Law.”
