Flaherty rights record draws critique in hearings
Senate hearings on Pittsburgh Mayor Peter Flaherty stepping to deputy attorney general focus on civil rights, with NAACP official Clarence Mitchell accusing him of delaying desegregation and stirring racial tension despite his claim of supporting neighborhood schools and opposing forced busing.
