Governor Pat McCrory issued the following statement commemorating the 50th Anniversary of The Civil Rights Act:

"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did more than ban discrimination and segregation on the basis of race, religion, national origin and gender. It began a process that allowed people to get to know one another on a personal level that simply wasn't possible before the civil rights act was signed into law," Governor McCrory said. "The 1964 Civil Rights Act is more than a milestone of the civil rights movement. Because it has benefited and belongs to every American, it's a milestone of our national history and character."
