Elliot Larson Civil Rights act....

Do you know what this is? I never did. It's an Act, passed in Michigan in 1977 to define civil rights; to prohibit discriminatory practices, policies, and customs in the exercise of those rights based upon religion, race, color, national origin. That's the condensed version - it goes on for 12 pages. I'm actually surprised that our state has it's own legislation on Civil Rights. Should it really vary from state to state? Could you have a basic civil right in one state, but not another?

Does your state have it's own Civil Rights act?
