With the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts were no longer available as a means to pursue a claim of discrimination based on race.

a. True
b. False

Respuesta :

Answer: B. False

Explanation: The Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts prohibits discrimination in making and enforcing contracts; prohibits the denial of civil rights by someone behaving as if they are acting on behalf of the government (under-color-of-state law); and prohibit concerted activity to deny someone their rights, based on race. Sections 1981 and 1983 of the Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts are the laws most frequently applied in the employment setting if a claim is not brought forth using Title VII. Though Title VII as part of a comprehensive statutory scheme to prohibit race and other discrimination, is the preferred method of enforcing employment discrimination claims.
