How the 1965 Immigration Act Transformed America | Great Migrations with Henry Louis Gates Jr.

In this clip from PBS's Great Migrations, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., explore the impact of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, a landmark piece of legislation passed during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The law aimed to eliminate ethnic bias in U.S. immigration policy, prioritizing family reunification and skills rather than race or national origin. While lawmakers, including President Lyndon B. Johnson, believed the act would have minimal demographic effects, it ultimately reshaped the nation by opening pathways for immigrants from non-European countries, fundamentally altering the cultural and social fabric of the United States. This episode examines the connection between civil rights, immigration reform, and the evolving concept of American identity. #GreatMigrations #HenryLouisGates #ImmigrationAct1965 #CivilRightsMovement #PBS This program is made possible by viewers like you.
