In this article the author presents his annual report on the progress of civil rights. When 1963 came to a close, more than skeptical progress had been achieved through the demonstrations that had drawn more than a million Negroes into the streets. The two years of 1963 and 1964 marked a historic turning point for the civil right movements; in the previous century no comparable change for the Negro had occurred. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is important even beyond its far-reaching provisions. It is historic because its enactment was generated by a massive coalition of White and Negro forces.
