Section 1981: Allows for individual suits for damages for intentional discrimination based on race or color;
Section 1981A: Provides for compensatory and punitive damages for intentional violations of Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitations Act;
Section 1983: Allows for individual suits for intentional action under color of state law causing deprivation of any rights guaranteed by law; and
Section 1985(c): Allows for suits against persons conspiring to deprive persons of rights protected by law.
