Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States (1964) was a landmark Supreme Court case affirming Congress's power under the Commerce Clause to ban racial discrimination in private businesses, specifically public accommodations like hotels, solidifying Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited refusing service based on race, finding such discrimination substantially affected interstate commerce, thus allowing federal intervention despite claims of infringing property/liberty rights.
