Court Upheld 1964 Civil Rights Act in Public Accommodations
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the 1964 Civil Rights Act banning racial discrimination in hotels, motels, and other public places is constitutional under the commerce clause. Justice Tom Clark wrote the majority opinion, with justices noting the decision could be tested again under the 14th Amendment. The ruling ends a long legal debate stretching back to Reconstruction and 1883 precedent.
