June 20, 1964
THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, Raleigh, N.C., June 20, 1964
* American Civil Rights Act of 1964
* Passes United States Senate
The top front page has a six column headline announcing a historic moment in the Civil Rights battle: "Civil Rights Bill Is Passed After Long Battle in Senate" with subhead and related photo. (see images) Nice for display. First report coverage on the Senate's passage of this historic Civil Rights Act, which would be passed by the House & signed by the President less than two weeks later.
The front page also has a report on Senator Edward Kennedy's survival from a plane crash.
Incomplete issue containing 10 of the 20 pages but all relevant content is present, a few small binding holes along the spine generally very nice.
