America's Struggle for Racial Equality.

Canady, Charles T.

Policy Review, n87 p42-47 Jan-Feb 1998

Discusses the civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s and the need to recapture the commitment to ending discrimination. The legal principle on which the early civil rights movement was based and the law's degeneration into preferential treatment and race-based entitlement are discussed. It argues for embracing the colorblind legal order begun 100 years ago. (GR)
