Tennessee Human Rights Commission

Tennessee Human Rights Commission Safeguarding individuals from discrimination through education and enforcement

The Tennessee Human Rights Commission is an independent state agency created in 1963 to encourage, promote and advise the public of their human rights. In 1978 the Commission transformed in an enforcement agency through the passing of the Tennessee Human Rights Act, and later, the Tennessee Disability Act, which together prohibit discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodation on t

he basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, s*x, disability, familial status (housing only), and age (over 40 in employment). The Commission also ensures the State of Tennessee’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, and national origin by state agencies receiving federal financial assistance.
