After rigorous debate on Capitol Hill the Civil rights act of 1964 was passed. The Act prohibited discrimination because of race or sex in public places and employment. The Heart of Atlanta was a chain of NO CAPS Motels through out the South that had remained exclusively white. When The Civil Rights Act was passed COMMA the owners had decided to challenge this Act by continuing to shun non HYPHEN whites. The owner’s defense was that the government does not have the right to force him to ACCEPT black clientele. 4.5/5 ====== 2/2

This brought up a good question, “was government meddling in business affairs constitutional?” The case went to the Supreme Court that same year, WHERE the majority ruled in favor of the Civil Rights Act and said that under the Interstate Commerce Act “the government has the power to regulate local incidents that could cause harm to commerce…” PARAPHRASE DON'T QUOTE The Interstate Commerce Act lead LED to the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887 as a result of railroads abusing farmers with unfair business practices. The committee was abolished in 1957 COMMA but its functions continued through other committees. The court said that the hotels were strategically placed next to highways to attract more business making the courts ruling valid. This court made the chain of hotels to disband their “no coloreds” policy. With the courts ruling it showed that the government was going to take stricter tone with racial discrimination.
