President Harry Truman made history by ending segregation in 1948 in the Armed Forces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1957, the Civil Rights Act was signed by President Dwight Eisenhower, marking the government&#8217;s commitment to protecting the civil rights of all Americans. The Act empowered the Justice Department and federal officials to prosecute anyone who conspired to deny another citizen&#8217;s right to vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further steps were taken in 1964 when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, which President Lyndon Johnson signed. This Act prohibited the discrimination on the basis of religion, national origin, gender, color, and race. It ended segregation in public places, schools, and public facilities. Employment discrimination was also made illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are still civil rights infringements taking place today in our country. As Americans, we must all know our civil rights and stand up to protect ourselves. Knowing our civil rights will empower us to know when our civil rights are violated. There is a wide range of examples of what we consider a violation of our civil rights. In this article, we&#8217;ve highlighted the most common ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Employment<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made employment discrimination illegal based their color, race, religion, national origin, or gender. This Act (under Title VII) also applies today to the employment discrimination of LGBTs based on sexual orientation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Acts were passed later concerning discrimination:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age Discrimination Act of 1975 &#8211; Amendment applied to the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include the prohibition of discrimination based on age.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 prohibits employment discrimination against female employees who intend to become or are pregnant. Includes wrongful termination or failure for promotion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disabilities Act of 1990 &#8211; Discrimination on the basis of a disability becomes prohibited.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your civil rights are being violated if you&#8217;re faced with a negative outcome based on your gender or sexual identity. The VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects all US citizens against gender or sexual orientation employment discrimination. The Act also prohibits discrimination at work based on sex-based stereotypes. For example, discrimination based on transgender status or a female wearing masculine clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employment discrimination does just include not getting hired because of your characteristics. Other examples of adverse outcomes based on discrimination also include, but aren&#8217;t limited to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being passed for a promotion, raise, or training.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting paid lower wages than coworkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting assigned fewer responsibilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting assigned more responsibilities or transferring of duties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having to endure inappropriate comments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being demoted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting fired.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Housing<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re a person of color and apply for a lease agreement and the landlord denies your application based on your race, your civil rights have been violated. This is specific discrimination against a protected class of individuals. Housing discrimination includes selling, renting, lending, and homeowners insurance. The law prohibits discrimination based on color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, spousal affiliation, physical handicap, or mental disability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Sexual Harassment<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual harassment is a severe form of civil rights violation. Sexual harassment applies to same-sex and opposite-sex harassment and can be verbal or physical. Examples based on sexual harassment discrimination also include, but aren&#8217;t limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requests to give sexual favors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receiving unwelcome sexual advances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting offensive remarks about your sexual orientation or gender.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re experiencing sexual harassment at work, you may also encounter adverse outcomes which could include, but aren&#8217;t limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your performance at work is adversely affected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you experience hostility or intimidation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being passed for a promotion, raise, or training.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting paid lower wages than coworkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting assigned fewer responsibilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting assigned more responsibilities or transferring of duties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having to endure inappropriate comments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being demoted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting fired.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Services<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re refused a service based on your race, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, gender, or any other characteristic, your civil rights have been violated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Excessive Force<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When excessive force is used during the arrest of an individual, their civil rights have been infringed. In some instances, police officers must use force to contain and subdue specific individuals during an arrest. However, there are too many instances where police officers have been accused of going beyond what is required and using too much force where it&#8217;s not required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/executive-order-9981#:~:text=On%20July%2026%2C%201948%2C%20President,segregation%20in%20the%20Armed%20Forces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/executive-order-9981#:~:text=On%20July%2026%2C%201948%2C%20President,segregation%20in%20the%20Armed%20Forces<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crdl.usg.edu\/events\/civil_rights_act_1957\/?Welcome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/crdl.usg.edu\/events\/civil_rights_act_1957\/?Welcome<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/civil-rights-act#:~:text=This%20act%2C%20signed%20into%20law,civil%20rights%20legislation%20since%20Reconstruction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/civil-rights-act#:~:text=This%20act%2C%20signed%20into%20law,civil%20rights%20legislation%20since%20Reconstruction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/exhibits\/civil-rights-act\/legal-events-timeline.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/exhibits\/civil-rights-act\/legal-events-timeline.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/welchlawfirm.com\/the-7-most-common-types-of-civil-rights-violations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/welchlawfirm.com\/the-7-most-common-types-of-civil-rights-violations\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/parnalladams.com\/what-is-considered-a-civil-rights-violation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/parnalladams.com\/what-is-considered-a-civil-rights-violation\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f9bc2eb47c8\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px;
