Introduction
In today's world, racial equality is more important than ever.

It also provides practical guidance on how to implement racial equality laws in your own community.
The History of Racial Equality Law
The history of racial equality law in the United States dates back to the Civil War. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, freed all slaves in the Confederate states. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery throughout the United States. However, even after the abolition of slavery, African Americans continued to face discrimination in many areas of life, including employment, housing, and education.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the civil rights movement fought for equal rights for African Americans. This movement led to the passage of several important laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These laws outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
