The U.S. Supreme Court declared the act unconstitutional in the Civil Rights Cases (1883). Enacted on March 1, 1875, the Civil Rights Act affirmed the “equality of all men before the law” and prohibited racial discrimination in public places and facilities such as restaurants and public transportation
