1968 Race Relations Act

The 1968 Race Relations Act was a UK law that aimed to prevent racial discrimination in public places and employment. Building on earlier legislation, it made it illegal to discriminate based on race, color, or ethnicity in areas like housing, education, and workplaces. The Act also established the Race Relations Board to handle complaints and promote equality. It marked a significant step towards combating racism and promoting social integration, reflecting growing awareness and efforts to ensure fairer treatment for all races in Britain.
