Houston Racial Discrimination Lawyers
Throughout much of American history, racial discrimination was common not only in social situations, but also in the workplace. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 aimed to remedy that problem in a range of areas, including educational environments, businesses, and other public places. But despite the passage of this important legislation and the substantial gains that have been made in the decades since, there remains a disturbing amount of racial discrimination in the workplace, as evidenced by the 33,937 discrimination claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2008.
If you have reason to believe that any decisions made by an employer or potential employer were motivated by issues of race, contact the Houston racial discrimination lawyers of the Ross Law Group at 713-482-6910. We will work to restore the dignity and respect that you were denied.
