This conference marks the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by bringing together a distinguished interdisciplinary group of scholars to address fundamental questions about the past, present and future of this historic act. The conference will invite historical consideration of the relationship among social movements, activism and law reform. It will examine the evolution of prohibited classifications over time through amendments to the Act, judicial decisions, and additional civil rights legislation.

Speakers will address the problems that public agencies and private plaintiffs have confronted in proving discrimination under the 1964 Act and subsequent civil rights laws and will consider contemporary challenges in addressing inequality and discrimination.
