President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

President Eisenhower was elected president in 1953. He was in office until 1961. I had to research his civil rights acts.

Presidents Eisenhower's civil rights act was the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Which was basically saying that everybody had their right to vote. There was a lot of discrimination about African Americans voting for the president.  Only about 20% of African Americans were legal to vote.

The aftermath of the Civil rights act of 1957 was only 3% more Africans Voted in the Presidency Elections. President Eisenhower was A really good president.
