Question: what is the difference between the civil rights act of 1964 and 1991?
Answer: Like the 1964 landmark, the 1991 act prohibits all discrimination in employment based on race, gender, color, religious, or ethnic considerations. The 1991 CRA amended the 1964 law —it did not replace it—in an attempt to strengthen the earlier law, especially in the realm of employer liability and the burden of proof.
