Question 5. 5. (TCO E) For the first 180 years of our county’s existence, there was no protection in the work place, schools, retail outlets, or virtually anywhere for individuals based on their race, gender, religion, age, etc. Discrimination was common in the work place, schools, restaurants, etc., until the 1960s. Four pieces of Federal Legislation in 1963, 1964, 1967, and 1990 have succeeded in establishing strict legal standards to prevent discrimination in our society. Identify and summarize these four pieces of Federal Legislation, and the protection they provide to prevent discrimination in our society. List the Five Protected Classes under our current laws.
