CALIFORNIA SENATOR HARRIS INTRODUCES LEGISLATION AFFIRMING 1866 CIVIL RIGHTS LAW AS SUPREME COURT COMCAST CASE CONTINUES

[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.
