Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Which lawmaker added the provision that banned discrimination on the basis of sex?
Hint: That text was added at the eleventh hour by a noted segregationist lawmaker from Virginia. There have been historical debates as to whether the protection against sex discrimination was added to earnestly broaden protections for women, or as a sly attempt to block passage of the bill.
