Lau v. Nichols is an important case for Title VI protections connecting national origin with language. 50 years ago, the right to be free from discrimination based on the language you use was recognized. edsource-org.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/edsource.o….


#OTD in 1964, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. This pivotal law prohibits discrimination in public facilities, such as libraries and schools, and in employment, among other protections. Language justice is among the protections covered by #TitleVI


Today is the day to #GiveBIG WASCLA works to ensure language rights are protected and people have access to critical governmental services regardless of the language they speak or use. #languageaccess #TitleVI #justice #healthequity mightycause.com/organization/w…

Access to qualified interpreters is a civil right.

Seeking justice can be especially difficult for non-English speakers. Often, their needs are mistranslated and misinterpreted. This is an issue that effects even the most proactive state courts, according to experts. See more from @Law360: ow.ly/c3sT50FY5qs

57 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law—prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It’s time to realize the full extent of the law, including language justice. #languagematters #communicationaccess
