According to evidence of Titus Livius, Roman historian (59 BC - 17 AD) that the Roman law is a copy of the Greek law from Sparta and Athens

Cum de legibus conveniret de latore tantum discreperat, missi legati Athenas Spurius Postumios Albus, Aullus Manllius, Publius Sulpicius Camerinus; iussique inklitas leges Solonis describere et alliarum Graeciae civitatum instituta, mores juraque noscere.

U.S. of America adapting the Greek law. «Discrimination:.... The Civil Rights Acts passed by the U.S. Congress included those of 1866, 1870, 1871, 1875, 1964, and 1968.

The first two acts gave blacks the rights to betreated as citizens in legal actions... The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in employment... 
The Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited discrimination in the sale or rental of residential housing».
