Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

The following is the text of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88-352) (Title VII), as amended,

as it appears in volume 42 of the United States Code, beginning at section 2000e.

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, s*x and national origin.

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 (Pub. L. 102-166) (CRA) and the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009,

amend several sections of Title VII. In addition, section 102 of the CRA amends the Revised Statutes

An Act

To enforce the constitutional right to vote, to confer jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States to provide injunctive relief against discrimination in public accommodations, to authorize the attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, to extend the Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent discrimination in federally assisted programs, to establish a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the “Civil Rights Act of 1964”.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

In the 1960s, Americans who knew only the potential of "equal protection of the laws" expected the president, the Congress, and the courts to fulfill the promise of the 14th Amendment.

In response, all three branches of the federal government--as well as the public at large--debated a fundamental constitutional question: Does the Constitution's prohibition of denying equal protection always ban the use of racial, ethnic, or gender criteria in an attempt to bring social justice and social benefits?

In 1964 Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241).

The provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of s*x as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The word "s*x" was added at the last moment.

Representative Howard W. Smith (D-VA) added the word. Smith argued that he had amended the bill in keeping with his support of Alice Paul and the National Women's Party with whom he had been working.

Martha W. Griffiths (D-MI) led the effort to keep the word "s*x" in the bill. In the final legislation, Section 703 (a) made it unlawful for an employer to "fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions or privileges or employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, s*x, or national origin." The final bill also allowed s*x to be a consideration when s*x is a bona fide occupational qualification for the job.

Title VII of the act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to implement the law.

How the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Influenced U.S. Immigration Policy
 
USCCB Migration and Refugee Services

Standing before Congress on January 8, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson delivered his State of the Union Address.

Here he called for the abolition of all forms of racial discrimination—calls that anticipated the passage of the Civil Rights Act some six months later—and committed his Administration to “lifting by legislation the bars of discrimination against those who seek entry into our country.

”1  Americans often think of civil rights legislation of the following years as being only pertinent to the African American community, but it in fact had important implications for the formation of migration policy.

From the days of slavery when the forced migration of African Americans brought countless men, women and children against their will to work as slaves in fields and factories across our land, to the early decades of the nineteenth century when wide swathes of people were excluded from migrating to the United States because they were considered racially unfit for self-rule, race has been intertwined with the migration of people to United States and in policy decisions made by its political leaders. 

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act the following year signify an important effort to right the wrongs of the past.

The 1965 immigration legislation sought to eliminate discriminatory and racially based practices that determined who could and who could not migrate to the United States of America.

The Immigration - Nationality Act 1965 ... also known as the Hart–Celler Act, changed the way quotas

were allocated by ending the National Origins Formula that had been in place in the United States

since the Emergency Quota Act of 1921.

The 1965 Act marked a change from past U.S. policy which had discriminated against non-northern Europeans.

In removing racial and national barriers the Act would alter the demographic mix in the U.S.

The new law created preference visa categories that focused on immigrants' skills and family

relationships with citizens or U.S. residents.

--THANK YOU...President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Representative Emanuel Celler, Senator Philip Hart

and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Hart–Celler Act,

It wasn't until [the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act] that lawmakers finally abandoned blatantly racist immigration policy.

LBJ signed the 1965 Act in the spirit of the new Civil Rights era as he denounced the unAmerican and prejudicial nature of the Act which it now succeeded.

Lyndon Johnson, who opposed country based immigration quotas as discriminatory and racist, led the fight against the 1924 Act. In 1965, The Immigration and Naturalization Act was passed by Congress which effectively phased out the old law based on country of origin quotas.

The Hart-Cellar Act, as it was called, emphasized family ties and employment in policy making exempting from visa limits spouses, parents and children under the age of eighteen of U.S. citizens.


As they seek to address undocumented migration and related issues, today's Congress may have reason to envy its 1965 predecessor.

One pundit, writing in 2008,

called Hart-Celler

the “most important piece of legislation that no one's ever heard of” because it created

the diverse electorate that put Barack Obama in the White House.

--THANK YOU...President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Representative Emanuel Celler, Senator Philip Hart

and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

THANK YOU, The Honorable Lyndon Baines Johnson …. 3RD GREATEST US-USA president EVER

............Voting Rights Act of 1965

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States

that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson

on August 6, 1965, and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its protections.

Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments

to the United States Constitution, the Act secured the right to vote for racial minorities throughout

the country....

According to US-USA Department of Justice, the Act is considered to be the most effective piece of

federal civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country.

....AND remembering him with his Children...

...Our dad, Lyndon Johnson, showed that civil rights could be bipartisan. Where is that now?

Lynda Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson 2 hrs ago

In his last year as vice president, Lynda accompanied our father to the sacred Civil War battle ground

His words that day have guided us ever since:

“Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned

with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.”

.... President Lyndon Johnson, signed the Civil Rights Act on Luci’s 17th birthday....

– it was the birthday of justice for all.

...Aug. 6, 1965, Luci stood behind our father in the Capitol as he signed the Voting Rights Act into law.
