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.
