The provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that was violated in the Lau v. Nichols case is Title VI: Government Agencies. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, which is relevant to the discrimination faced by non-English speaking students in the San Francisco school system.
