The minimum wage was lobbied into existence in the United States because (prominently) white labor unions wanted to disfranchise black Americans from being employed over them. Going beyond that, it is a glorified tax on employers to leave employees wanting jobs worse off and hurts far more people than it actually helps. If shit was easy as just mandating wage hikes to fix problems, Venezuela and Zimbabwe would be the kings and queens of the universe with living standards higher than the United States.

"who were willing to work for less."

So this is completely irrelevant with the civil rights act.
