Abstract
CongressLink is produced by the Dirksen Congressional Center, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization that seeks to improve public engagement in politics through better understanding of Congress. The website provides information about the U.S. Congress, how it works, its members and leaders, and the public policies it produces. One of its projects is the Civil Rights Documentation Project, which describes the legislative process involved in the struggle to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The project web page provides a detailed, month by month timeline of that development, from January 1963 through the law?s enactment in August 1965. Icons indicate whether a timeline date focuses on the social context or legislative process, and names of key politicians and cites to specific bill numbers are included.
