Baltusrol Golf Club Barred Blacks From Membership
Baltusrol Golf Club, host of this year’s U S Open, expelled Richard Nixon in 1968 amid claims of discriminatory admission practices. Nixon resigned after the New Jersey ACLU said 10 blacks and 10 Jews sought membership. A club member later said there are few Jews and no blacks due to the admission process.
