The Civil Right Act of 1964 codified specific prohibitions against racial discrimination in virtually every area of life. Among the things prohibited are discrimination in public places, employment and use of public services. The Supreme court had been deciding cases in this field under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution prior to enactment of the Civil Right Act of 1964. Once the law was passed, discrimination cases were brought directly under its provisions. Today, that same law is the basis for protecting against age, gender and disability-based discrimination.
