CALIFORNIA CONGRESSWOMAN WATERS DENOUNCES COMCAST AS SUPREME COURT CASE INVOLVING 1866 CIVIL RIGHTS LAW BEGINS

[Supreme Court News\ Comcast Corp v. NAAOM]
Congresswoman Maxine Waters: “Nearly ten years ago when Comcast sought to merge with NBC Universal, both companies were forced, under pressure from my efforts in Congress and the FCC, to commit to credible diversity and inclusion initiatives as a condition for the merger. Today, they are seeking to effectively destroy one of our nation’s oldest civil rights statutes dating back to Reconstruction. In doing so, Comcast is opening the flood gates to discrimination in business contracts with no legal remedy or recourse.’

CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS SPEAKS OUT AGAINST COMCAST’S TRUMP-BACKED LAWSUIT TARGETING BLACK MEDIA AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1866

[Black Media\Supreme Court News]
CBC: “The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is deeply disappointed and concerned by this case because it would upend a seminal civil rights statute passed during Reconstruction to root out all racial discrimination in contracting. Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was passed to ensure that newly freed slaves were afforded the same opportunities as their white counterparts in contract formation.”
