Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early nondiscrimination laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, did not provide sufficient enforcement power to the agencies responsible for implementing and upholding them, leading to ongoing discrimination and inequality. It wasn't until later laws, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, added provisions for enforcement that progress began to be made in addressing systemic discrimination.
