Lexington Herald-Leader
March 1, 2010 - In January 1966, with Gov. Edward T. Breathitt's signing of a law described by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., as "the strongest and most comprehensive civil rights bill passed by a southern state," Kentucky became the first state in the south to adopt a Civil Rights Act with enforceable repercussions for acts of discrimination. Two years later, Kentucky was again first in the south, this time in the passage of a statewide fair-housing law, which cemented our commonwealth's legacy as the nation's southern civil rights leader.
