Civil Rights Plan Bogged Down Until November Election
The Truman administration civil rights program, outlined last winter, is bogged down at least until after the November elections. Dissent echoed in the South as the President’s committee urged immediate action to end segregation. Republicans pressed for anti-poll tax and anti-job discrimination laws, but high priority bills on hold amid southern filibusters. The Justice Department drafted a civil rights bill for a new division, yet it remains in files. Attorney General Clark spoke in Boston about strengthening civil rights and cited a UN petition from the NAACP as a source of grievances.
