Employment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 had a significant effect on many different aspects of American life. It desegregated schools and public accommodations and ended the unequal application of voter registration requirements. One of the most influential parts of this act was in relation to controlling discriminatory practices in the workplace.

Employee Discrimination and the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Section VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 played a large role in the fight to eliminate discrimination in the work place. It prohibits employees from being treated differently because of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
The EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) is the agency in charge of enforcing these laws. Any events of discrimination should be reported immediately.
Discriminatory practices in the workplace typically refer to one of the following three scenarios:
- Failure to be hired
- Being denied a promotion
- Losing your job
