Major Features of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Title I
Barred unequal application of voter registration requirements, but did not abolish literacy tests sometimes used to disqualify African Americans and poor white voters.

Title II
Outlawed discrimination in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce; exempted private clubs without defining "private," thereby allowing a loophole..

Title III
Encouraged the desegregation of public schools and authorized the U. S. Attorney General to file suits to force desegregation, but did not authorize busing as a means to overcome segregation based on residence.

Title IV
Authorized but did not require withdrawal of federal funds from programs which practiced discriminations.

Title VII
Title VII outlaws discrimination in employment in any business on the basis of race, national origin, sex, or religion. Title VII also prohibits retaliation against employees who oppose such unlawful discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title VII. The EEOC investigates, mediates, and sometimes files lawsuits on behalf of employees. Title VII also provides that an individual can bring a private lawsuit. Importantly, an individual must file a complaint of discrimination with the EEOC within 180 days of learning of the discrimination or the individual may lose the right to file a lawsuit. Title VII only applies to employers with fifteen or more employees. In the late 1970s courts began holding that sexual harassment is prohibited under the Act. Title VII has been supplemented with legislation prohibiting pregnancy, age, and disability discrimination. Currently there is no federal law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, however Congress continues to consider the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) which would prohibit sexual orientation employment discrimination.

Do you mean starting in the 1860's?

The civil Rights Act can mean the 1964 Act, but there's a few other civil rights acts too. Try Findlaw.com and http://www.law.cornell.edu/ if no one has already posted the one you mean.

But it's not 1995; it's 2005. By now, you should be able to find it yourself.

BTW, here's the original Ku Klux Klan Act, from a great resource I found today: http://education.harpweek.com/KKKHearings/AppendixA.htm

If you use Google and also look under Congressional Quaterly with your search, you'll find an excellent article from that time that castigates the Dems for their failure to support this act...and the '58 and '60 Civil Rights Acts.

Wow, I wasn't even looking for it and I'm impressed. Thanks for the post. Just goes to show when you want to know something, ask a Freeper.

Or a librarian. ;-)

"Or a librarian. ;-)"

Hey! :)

[infidel29]

Or a librarian. ;-)

I not so sure of that, my sister is a librarian and I'll bet she couldn't have found that info so quickly.

[kellynch]

I am, and I could have.

[infidel29]

I kind of thought you were defending the job as it were, my sister is mostly apolitical with a slight tilt to the left (state job) so I imagine someone with a more highly tuned mind, such as yourself, would have an easier job finding the facts that don't shine so brightly on the left.

[kellynch]

Thanks for the clarification.

A while back, David Brooks came to speak at my church. He said that the 3 biggest donor groups to liberal causes were librarians, lawyers and teachers.

Well, my mother and I are librarians (Mom's retired and I'm not currently employed in that profession, but it's still what I am in my heart), my brother is a lawyer and my father is a retired college professor.

And we're all Republicans. My brother lists to the left a bit (he married a liberal and it appears that he's susceptible to persuasion), but the rest of us are "real" Republicans through and through.

[infidel29]

...3 biggest donor groups to liberal causes were librarians, lawyers and teachers.

Uh-oh.... my family is full of those. Let's see both parents were teachers and democrats , but thankfully they're recovering.

Their children though have all the branches of criminality covered, my oldest sister(R) is a lawyer, next one(D) is a forensic chemist in the State police crime lab, and youngest(?) is a librarian in a prison. Lawyer, cop, and jailor... I'm just judgemental.

That's nice. Now see if you can find a roll call of the vote. ;-)
