Nixon civil rights policy attacked by six Justice aides
Six young lawyers from the Civil Rights Division quit the Justice Department in protest of President Nixon's civil rights policies. They urged volunteers for Senator George McGovern's presidential bid, accusing the administration of retreating from racial equality, and criticized busing and Voting Rights Act amendments. The group urged public challenge at the polls while noting record increases in civil rights litigation under Nixon.
