Today marks 60 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, a landmark piece of legislation that fundamentally reshaped American society. This act prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, paving the way for greater equality and opportunity. President Johnson's unwavering commitment to civil rights was instrumental in passing this historic legislation. His famous words, "We shall overcome," echoed the sentiment of the civil rights movement and solidified his dedication to the cause. In this photo, we see President Johnson visiting OIC Philadelphia in 1967 with our founder, Reverend Dr. Leon H. Sullivan. This image captures a moment of collaboration between national leadership and grassroots efforts in the fight for equality. Dr. Sullivan's work, including the development of the "Sullivan Principles" in 1977, carried forward the spirit of the Civil Rights Act. These principles provided guidelines for U.S. companies operating in apartheid South Africa, promoting workplace equality and fair employment practices. As we commemorate the Civil Rights Act, we at OIC Philadelphia continue to honor both President Johnson's legislative legacy and Dr. Sullivan's ongoing work in economic empowerment. We remain committed to providing job training and opportunities to underserved communities, carrying forward the dream of a more just and equitable society for all. #CivilRightsAct #DrLeonSullivan #EqualOpportunity #OICPhiladelphia #sullivanprinciples #socialjustice
