On January 27, 1966, Governor Edward T. Breathitt, a Hopkinsville native, signed the Kentucky Civil Rights Act into law. This act increased protections provided by the national Civil Rights Act of 1964 by prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations or employment based on race, national origin, color, or religion. Join the Museum with special guest Linda Breathitt to discuss the legislation and its impact on the state and the governor who made it happen.
