The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and religion, but only as it pertained to public accommodations and employment; it did not extend protections to people at educational institutions. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act was added in 1972 to fill in the gap. On Title IX’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Congresswoman Patsy Mink of Hawaii gave this speech commemorating the historic law, which she was influential in expanding even after its initial passage.
