[Supreme Court News\Comcast Case v. NAAOM]
Senator Harris: “Just one year after the end of the Civil War, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to remove barriers to contracting and Black economic advancement.“It ensured that newly freed slaves enjoyed the same rights as other citizens. This case threatens to limit the effectiveness of our oldest civil rights law and could prevent countless victims– particularly Black people and people of color– from pursuing claims of race discrimination in our courts.

by

[Supreme Court News]
Because of a dispute with a Black businessman, Comcast has urged the Supreme Court to roll back the crucial protections of one of the nation’s oldest civil rights laws, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. For more than a century, Section 1981 has been used as an important tool to combat race discrimination, particularly for employment discrimination claimants. Former Justice Thurgood Marshall harnessed the power of Section 1981 to fight various forms of discrimination.
