A myriad of riots, followed days after the assassination, of Michael King. Infamously also known as, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was on this day Lyndon B Johnson signed into law. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 also known as Indian civil rights, the rights of Indians, and the Fair Housing Act.

 There are many races, and ethnicity identifying factors present, within this act. Easily overlooked, and smothered out by the visuals, of the Civil Rights Movement. Some may only remember, that which they'd like to forget. The police brutality, the dogs being unleashed, to water hosed.  Many not fully grasping the understanding, in all of its splendor. As it is a gateway to remedy and cure for the American Indian also known, and generally categorized as "People of Color"

 Here are some important excerpts of the law passed

 • Title I Chapter 102, Section 2101 "Riots"

 •Title II The Rights of Indians

 •Title VII  Materials relating to the constitutional rights of Indians

 •Title VIII Fair Housing

 These interesting titles all go back to something very unique about the law in the United States and that's "single subject matter". The single subject matter, in United States law, means that any act or Bill that is passed has to have a single subject. For example: if you are looking to create a bill, to save the polar bears. Within that bill for the polar bears, it would be impossible to also have that same bill passed to protect elephants. The single subject matter of this Act has clearly demonstrated that the Civil Rights movement, were a body of people striving to protect The Rights of Indians, ONLY.

 The bullet points, within this article, will not only identify some of the key remedies, and cures to various oppressive conditions regarding people of color in America, but also Identify the people of the subject matter, as American Indian! Not Black, Negro, or African American is identified as those protected by this Act of Congress. I the writer, implore you, the reader, to please go take a keen ganger at, Public Law 9 0 - 284. Perhaps you should see for yourself.
