Describe two effects of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What problems were African Americans facing that made this Act important?

The Black population got the right to vote and segregation laws were ended.

Explanation:

The two main issues that were solved during the passing of the Civil rights act of 1964 were:

1. the black population finally got the right to vote after a long winded struggle.

2. the policies of segregation of schools and colleges and public spaces ended after a long era of the Jim Crow laws.

These developments were important because the black population had been relentlessly oppressed by the whites in the US for centuries and it was this recent that they won their rights as citizens of the state.
