Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act says,”No person in the
United States shall, on the grounds of race, color or national
origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit
of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity receiving federal financial assistance.” 42
U.S.C.§2000d Title VI covers all forms of federal aid except
those federally funded contracts of insurance and guaranty. It
does not cover employment, except where employment practices
result in discrimination against program beneficiaries or where
the purpose of federal assistance is to provide employment. Nor
does it apply to discrimination based on age, sex, geographical
locale or wealth. Federal financial assistance means more than
just money. It is also aid that enhances the ability to improve
or expand allocation of a recipient’s own resources. Examples in
the City of Franklin might include: Training of employees
(permits better use of the employer) Grants and Loans, tax-
exempt bonds Loan of Personnel Tax in
