Extractions: Just when it seemed that the principle of affirmative action would be gutted, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ideal that having American institutions mirror America's population is important. In closely watched cases involving the University of Michigan undergraduate and law schools, the court Monday said it's not OK to create "mechanized formulas" to create diversity, such as Michigan's system of assigning 20 extra points to undergraduate minority applicants. But in the case of the law school, the court "deferred" to the school's judgment that race can be considered in the admissions process. What's more, the court said that the law school's "instincts" to create a racially balanced student body are protected by law. Whoa! This is a big victory for affirmative action. In its split decision, the Supreme Court reflected the nation's queasiness on the subject. Yes, racial balance is important, the court said, but point or quota systems are illegal. It's clear that the court, like the country, has been through the wringer on affirmative action. It's a relief to get over this hump. The country can get back to business, never forgetting that it is immoral to turn your back on even a single member of society.

Summer 1997 Prologue: Special Issue on Federal Records and African American History Federal Records and African American History (Summer 1997, Vol. 29, No. 2) By Geraldine N. Phillips The struggle for racial equality in the United States of America in the 1960s extended across the nation and was waged from segregated lunch counters to the bar of the United States Supreme Court. It had an impact on every aspect of American life, including the federal government. Because the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) preserves and makes available federal records of continuing value, its holdings are a valuable source of documentation about this era. Federal records can shed light on how and why the struggle was launched, on occurrences during the 1960s that influenced the course of events in America in the following decades, and on the federal government's role in the struggle. During the past ten years, NARA has added to its holdings and, in some instances, made available for the first time records that provide interesting insights into the federal role in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.

Extractions: Affirmative Action: A Dialogue on Race, Gender, Equality and Law in America Affirmative Action as Social and Legal Policy Editors: There is, perhaps, a political consensus in our society that Government has some kind of obligation to promote/foster, if not ensure, racial equality, but that consensus - like others - breaks down in the specifics of implementation and social practice. What are the range of tools, including but not limited to affirmative action, available to address the kind of racial discrimination, disparate impacts, and resulting inequities described by many of you? Which tools are better? Why? Donna Maeda: Glenn C. Loury: Our moral queasiness about the use of race arises for historically specific reasons-namely, slavery and Jim Crow segregation. Those reasons centrally involve the caste-like subordination of blacks, a matter that, in actual historical fact, was not symmetrical as between the races. As such, to take account of race while trying to mitigate the effects of this subordination, though perhaps ill advised or unworkable in specific cases, should not be viewed as morally equivalent to the acts of discrimination that affected the subjugation of blacks in the first place.

Extractions: Courtesy of the NAACP A fter the abolition of slavery in the United States, three Constitutional amendments were passed to grant newly freed African Americans legal status: the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth provided citizenship, and the Fifteenth guaranteed the right to vote. In spite of these amendments and civil rights acts to enforce the amendments, between 1873 and 1883 the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions that virtually nullified the work of Congress during Reconstruction. Regarded by many as second-class citizens, blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed forces, and schools in both Northern and Southern states. In 1896 the Supreme Court sanctioned legal separation of the races by its ruling in H.A. Plessy v. J.H. Ferguson

Extractions: Earl Warren, 14th Chief Justice of the United States, has become an icon to generations of Americans who believe in the gains for civil rights and personal freedom that were the hallmark of his tenure on the Supreme Court. In 1940, Earl Warren was the attorney general of California, and he delivered a speech where he cautioned against bigotry based upon national origin. He said, It should be remembered that practically all aliens have come to this country because they like our land and our institutions better than those from whence they came. They have attached themselves to the life of this country in a manner that they would hate to change and the vast majority of them will, if given a chance, remain the same good neighbors that they have been in the past regardless of what difficulties our nation may have with the country of their birth. History proves this to be true . . . .We must see to it that no race prejudices develop and that there are no petty persecutions of law-abiding people. Then, in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, by January and February 1942, Attorney General Warren directed the preparation of maps showing all Japanese-owned lands in California, called upon the state's district attorneys to enforce the Alien Land Law against Japanese landowners, and said the presence of Japanese in California provided the opportunity for a repetition of Pearl Harbor. And by March he advocated the exclusion of all Japanese from within 200 miles of the California coast.

Extractions: On August 23, Martin Luther King III, son of Martin Luther King Jr., will lead a coalition of groups in a rally to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the historic March on Washington which culminated in Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech. This is the first of two articles to mark the occasion. Washington It was a march and a speech that the world cannot forget. Forty years ago on August 28 an estimated 250,000 people marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington where they heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give a speech of unsurpassed eloquence. Known ever since as the "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. King's words gave impassioned voice to the demands of the U.S. civil rights movement equal rights for all citizens, including those who were born black and brown. The speech, which was made near the close of what was then the largest demonstration in U.S. history, created a new spirit of hope across the land. It was one of those rare moments in history that changed a nation paving the way for a transformation of American law and life. But four decades later, how comprehensive was that transformation? How meaningful and enduring is the legacy of that long ago summer day?
