Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment discrimination on the bases of race and color, as well as national origin, sex, and religion. The EEOC keeps a page that explains this fully.
Additionally, harassment and a hostile work environment is prohibited. To begin the process, one would need to first contact the EEOC. Only after their investigation and after they have sent a letter stating that a lawsuit may proceed can an attorney step in to file suit.
The key is early communication and proper, thorough documentation of what happened.
