A recent change by the Trump administration has lifted explicit prohibitions against segregation in facilities used by federal contractors, as outlined in a memo from the General Services Administration. This alteration relates to President Trump's executive order on diversity and equity, which repeals long-standing protections established in 1965 aimed at maintaining integration. While existing laws against discrimination remain, experts note that this change is emblematic of a broader retreat from civil rights standards in federal contracting, revealing a step back from decades of integration efforts in workplaces.
The changes to federal contracts reflect a significant shift in policy, removing long-standing prohibitions against segregation in facilities for federal contractors.
Legal experts emphasize the symbolic importance of lifting these prohibitions, as they undermine decades of civil rights progress made since the 1960s.
