In 1963, President John F. Kennedy stated his case for making the Civil Rights Act, including Title VI, a reality.
“Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races, (colors, and national origins) contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial (color or national origin) discrimination.”
Discouraging racial discrimination is the essence of Title VI as it became part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Discrimination based on race, color or national origin is prohibited for programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
Yet, over fifty years later, discrimination still exists in these areas. Lawsuits and complaints about discrimination in employment, education and other arenas are not uncommon. While many believe Title VI applies to everyone, there are certain exemptions, such as religious institutions that do not have to adhere to Title VI requirements if they do not receive federal funding for any programs.
