Carter faces growing Black protests over policies
President Carter’s sharp reply to civil rights leaders’ criticism sparks intensified debate as Black leaders reassess their support. Vernon Jordan’s warning about harming the poor renews calls for a national urban policy, welfare reform, and health insurance while Sen. Edward Brooke joins critiques of aid to the poor and housing taxes. Jordan’s allies include NAACP leaders, the Congressional Black Caucus, and Operation PUSHs Jesse Jackson. The row underscores black voters’ influence on policy tone and actions.
