The foundation for Mitchell's struggle was laid during his tenure at the Fair Employment Practice Committee, where he led implementation of President Roosevelt's policy barring racial discrimination in employment in the national defense and war industry programs. Mitchell's FEPC reports and memoranda chart the beginning of the modern civil rights movement. The first two volumes of a projected five-volume documentary edition of the papers of Clarence Mitchell Jr. illuminate the FEPC's work as a federal affirmative-action agency and the government's struggle to enforce the nation's antidiscrimination policy in industry, federal agencies, and labor unions. Subsequent volumes will trace Mitchell's successive enlistment of seven presidents in establishing and enforcing a permanent national nondiscrimination policy. Through his efforts, Congress passed the 1957, 1960, and 1961 Civil Rights Acts prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations, federal spending, and employment based on race, color, sex, and national origin; the 1965 Voting Rights Act; and the 1968 Fair Housing Act. Editor Denton L. Watson introduces and annotates Mitchell's writings, providing context and insight for students and scholars of civil rights history, government, law, and sociology. 606 $aAfrican Americans$vArchives 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 606 $aAfrican Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 606 $aCivil rights movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 606 $aCivil rights workers$zUnited States$vArchives 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 615 0$aAfrican Americans 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights workers 676 $a323/.092 700 $aMitchell$b Clarence M$g(Clarence Maurice),$cJr.,$f1911-1984.$01860878 701 $aNuxoll$b Elizabeth Miles$f1943-$01860879 701 $aWatson$b Denton L$0873870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972738203321 996 $a1944-1946$94480801 997 $aUNINA
