White leader Vernon Jordan on race issues in the 1970s
In an interview, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., newly named executive director of the Urban League, analyzes white resistance to integration, the 1972 election climate on busing, economic empowerment, and the evolving civil rights agenda. He links past militant tactics to current goals of equity, jobs, and quality education. He contrasts suburban integration with broader national change and stresses the need for all Americans to share in rights and responsibilities.
