Maryland's main agricultural exports are broiler chickens, corn, dairy products and soybeans, although these account for less than one percent of the national total with the exception of broilers (three percent).
However, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not protect people with disabilities. Discrimination against people with disabilities would not be addressed until 1973 when Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 became law and later still in 1990 when the ADA was passed. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 protects the rights of minorities to vote in elections.
The Civil Rights Act of 1875. Image courtesy of Moorland-Spingarn Research Center Before entering Congress in 1873, Representative James Rapier of Alabama worked as a newspaperman, a cotton planter, and as a state civil servant. On this date, the House passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 by a vote of 162 to 99. First introduced by one of Congressâs greatest advocates for black civil rights, Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, in 1870, the original bill outlawed racial discrimination in juries, schools, transportation, and public accommodations.
