Board of Education\u003c\/i\u003e case, in which the Supreme Court declared that segregation was discrimination and thus unconstitutional. The decision enabled Mitchell to implement the legislative program that President Truman’s Committee on Civil Rights outlined in its landmark 1947 report, \u003ci\u003eTo Secure These Rights\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe papers show how Mitchell persuaded President Truman to extend further the Fair Employment Practices Commission idea by issuing an executive order to enforce the nondiscrimination clause in government contracts with private industry; President Eisenhower further revised and strengthened this order. Mitchell expanded President Eisenhower’s commitment to ending discrimination in federal funding by leading the struggle to get Congress to enact laws barring such practices in aid to education and all similar programs. Mitchell ultimately won the support of both presidents in ending segregation in many government-supported facilities and throughout the armed services.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe expanded President Eisenhower’s commitment to ending discrimination in federal funding by leading the struggle to get Congress to enact laws barring such practices in aid to education and all similar programs.\u003cbr\u003e\nVolumes III and IV are an invaluable reference in tracing the NAACP’s multifaceted struggle under Mitchell’s leadership for passage of the civil rights laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Clarence Mitchell Jr.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616021209468,"sku":"9780821419359","price":66.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780821419359_990596d5-834b-49a6-a4b7-072bac6d897e.jpg?v=1727080973","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-papers-of-clarence-mitchell-jr-volume-iv","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
