Clark Credits Truman For Civil Rights
Former Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark told the National Association of Human Rights Workers that Harry S. Truman turned the nation's conscience toward equality. He cited Truman's 1948 executive order desegregating the armed forces and the 1947 creation of the President's Commission on Human Rights as starting points for the modern civil rights movement. Clark said Truman risked his political career to back civil rights, and he spoke after speaking with Mrs. Bess Truman who praised her husband’s early stand. Julian Bond criticized the Nixon administration's civil rights record and urged black turnout, warning this election would determine progress for civil rights and praising George McGovern as a strong candidate.
