Congress enacted a series of statutes intended to confer broad rights on African Americans to be free from discrimination. Many of the protections of these civil rights acts, however, were severely restricted through U.S. Supreme Court interpretation, as occurred in the Civil Rights Cases (1883). Among the most significant lasting effects of these laws was the establishment of federal authority to enforce criminal civil rights provisions.]]> 2017-03-15 15:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hlolli3299/fstigemp005l/wish/160274517 hlolli3299 https://padlet.com/hlolli3299/fstigemp005l/wish/160281568  "Land of Unequal Opportunity: Documenting the Civil Rights Struggle in Arkansas."
