Civil Rights Act of 1991  

Définition

  • The Civil Rights Act of 1991 is compromise legislation passed after a heated two-year political struggle and ambitiously amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (referred to as “Title VII”); the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (referred to as “Section 1981”); the Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976; and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). President George H. W. Bush had vetoed an earlier version of the bill in 1990, based on what he perceived to be its encouragement of quota-based hiring.
