Over the course of history, this nervousness has stifled many individuals and organizations, thus leading to an inability to seriously advance the reduction of racial inequities in government. The author asserts that until this nervousness is effectively managed, public administration social equity efforts designed to reduce racial inequities cannot realize their full potential. 606 $aSocial justice$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aPublic administration$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aEquality$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPublic administration$xSocial aspects 676 $a303.3/720973 700 $aGooden$b Susan.$0990226 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476842603321 996 $aRace and social equity$92265155 997 $aUNINA
