Civil Rights Act Title 6 targets programs receiving federal aid
President Johnson issued regulations enforcing Title 6 banning racial discrimination in federal aid programs. Agencies covered include Interior, Agriculture, Labor, HEW, HUD, GSA, and NSF. The rule bars denial of benefits based on race, color, or national origin and can cost states millions if noncompliance persists. Federal funding to the South totals around $1.4 billion annually across agriculture, health, and education. Enforcement relies on withholding funds, not arrests, stressing states’ dependence on federal subsidies.
