City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. 488 U.S. 469 (1989) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that the city of Richmond’s minority set-aside program which gave preference to minority business enterprises (MBE) in the awarding of municipal contracts was unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause. The Court found that the city failed to identify both the need for remedial action and that other non-discriminatory remedies would be insufficient.
