The Commerce Clause far exceeds just the sales and purchasing of goods.It was used to help African Americans obtain equal rights by holding that the refusal to sell to or hire African American people effected the follow of interstate commerce. Heart of Altlanta Motel v. United States is a good example of a Supreme Court ruling that helped desegregate local businesses.

The Commerce Clause helped African Americans obtain equal rights because it prohibited businesses from refusing to hire or sell goods to them. This helped businesses remain desegregated.
