There is a growing need identified in metropolitan and statewide planning processes nationwide to ensure that transportation plans and programs comply with provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Lawsuits have been proposed in several areas of the country by communities concerned that their civil rights have been violated because they were not allowed to participate in the transportation planning and decision-making process . civil rights offices , and other DOT partners are reviewing the composition and organizational structure of their civil rights programs to ensure quality and timely services are provided to customers . Another offshoot of the period was that Negro Americans , energized by their civil rights successes , the militant spirit of the times and the greater willingness to embrace and celebrate their history , reappraised who they were , and how they perceived themselves and their ancestry all the way back to the African continent . McDonald 's are , therefore , entitled to seek the determination of their civil rights to a good reputation and , if successful , the protection of that reputation against an alleged libel . With your strong support , the Department of Justice has led a stepped-up law enforcement effort against international drug traffickers and money launderers , organized crime , white collar criminals , environmental polluters , and those who would deprive our citizens of their civil rights and the advantages of free market competition . I understand people willing to surrender some of their civil rights for safety 's sake , but if the world really is stuck in this " war on terror " ( as if anyone could really conquer ' terror ' ) what sign does it send to those so-called ' terrorists ' and people in ' rogue states ' - all of whom are naturally , of course , ' terrorists ' - if America , claiming to be the world 's moral leader , so willingly gives up its freedoms ? The so-called " African Growth and Opportunity Act , Inc. " is comprised of U.S. - based oil and other multinational corporations , many of whom already suffer infamous reputations in Africa for their heinous human rights and environmental practices ( and in some cases in the U.S. for their civil rights violations and union bashing ) .
