The Extension and Curtailment of Civil Rights through the Interstate Commerce Act
This ten-page graduate paper describes how, empowered through the Interstate Commerce Act, the United States Congress was able to pass numerous laws including one of the most controversial, the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The author focuses on the humble beginnings of the Interstate Commerce Act and how it was later used as a tool to help advance the movement for civil rights and to desegregate virtually the entire United States. He also describes in depth the challenges faced by the Interstate Commerce Act through various other laws that were enacted utilizing its name, such as the Civil Rights Act and the USA Patriot Act.
