Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964
The City of Boone is committed to the non-discrimination provisions of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and related Federal and State nondiscrimination statues and regulations.
Title VI of Civil Rights Act
The City of Boone operates its programs and services without regard to race, color, and national origin in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Any person who believes she or he has been aggrieved by unlawful discriminatory practice under Title VI may file a complaint with the City of Boone. The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 amended Title VI to specify that entire institutions receiving federal funds, whether school, colleges, government entities, or private employers must comply with Federal Civil Rights Laws, rather than just the particular programs or activities that receive federal funds.
