As a member of Congress, McCulloch is considered to be one of the instrumental figures of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

"“We are a nation of many people and views. In such a nation, the prime purpose of a legislator, from wherever he may come, is to accommodate the interests, desires, wants and needs of all our citizens. To alienate some in order to satisfy others is not only a disservice to those we alienate, but a violation of the principles of our Republic. Lawmaking is the reconciliation of divergent views. In a democratic society like ours, the purpose of representative government is to soften tension – reduce strife – while enabling groups and individuals to more nearly obtain the kind of life they wish to live.” William M. McCulloch Speaking before the U.S. House of Representatives 12 October 1971"
