Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Title VI, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., was enacted as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the City of Gastonia, as a recipient of federal funds, prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Programs that receive federal funds cannot distinguish among individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin, either directly or indirectly, in the types, quantity, quality, or timeliness of program services, aids, or benefits that they provide or the manner in which they provide them.
The City of Gastonia has adopted a Title VI Plan to ensure compliance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Any person who believes they have been wronged by a discriminatory act (whether by an action or an inaction) of the City of Gastonia or its funding recipients has the right to file a written complaint with the City of Gastonia within 180 days after the discrimination occurred.
