2014 U. Chi. Legal F. 1 (2014)

handle is hein.journals/uchclf2014 and id is 1 raw text is: Articles Reflections on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Nina Peralest I want to thank the University of Chicago Law School and the Symposium. It is an honor to participate in this important event. When thinking about the Civil Rights Act turning fifty, a few personal things come to mind. In the summer of 1964, when President Lyndon Johnson was signing the Civil Rights Act, 1 my father was a second-year law student in New York City. He was the only Latino in his law school class and in those times it wasn't that unusual to be the only Latino student at a law school. In that summer of 1964, my father and classmate named Richard Panebianco took a road trip and passed through Texas. My father has never explained to me why these two guys from New York took a road trip through Texas, but in any event they stopped at a restaurant for dinner and the proprietor refused to seat them. I think my father already suspected what was Vice President of Litigation, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. 1 Civil Rights Act of 1964, Pub L No 88-352, 78 Stat 241 (1964), codified as amended in scattered sections of 42 USC. 1
