During this 1950s and 1960s legislative debates occurred concerning individuals rights in the disposition of property and the right to conduct business freely, despite discriminatory manners. The issue of equality and freedom for all despite race, ancestry, racial origin, or religion was not evident due to racial discrimination during this time in U.S. history.
