Collision Course
The Surprising Career of Federal Fair Housing Law
Unlike the breakthrough civil rights legislation of 1964–65, which dismantled the South's Jim Crow system and led to rapid advances in job access and educational opportunity for minorities throughout the nation, the federal fair housing legislation of the 1960s produced little substantive change. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 quickly became case studies in the dominant tradition of presidential leadership in legis…

Legacies of the 1960s
Scholarship on the political development of the United States since the 1960s is dominated, not surprisingly, by social scientists. Such recent events fall within the penumbra of “contemporary history,” the standard research domain of social scientists but treacherous terrain for historians. Social scientists studying American government and society generally enjoy prompt access to evidence of the policy-making process–documents from the elected …

Unintended Consequences
In the 1990s, political opposition in the United States rose against two government policies not previously linked in policy rationale or public debate: affirmative action preferences and large-scale immigration. Historically, reform movements in civil rights and immigration policy had differed significantly in their coalition base, reformist goals, rationales for government intervention, patterns of agency implementation, and communities of poli…

On the Limits of the Law
William Friday
Few North Carolinians have been as well known or as widely respected as William Friday (1920-2012). The former president of the University of North Carolina remained prominent in public affairs in the state and elsewhere throughout his life and ranked as one of the most important American university presidents of the post-World War II era. In the second edition of this comprehensive biography, William Link traces Friday's long and remarkable care…
The Schoolhouse Door
On June 11, 1963, in a dramatic gesture that caught the nation's attention, Governor George Wallace physically blocked the entrance to Foster Auditorium on the University of Alabama's campus. His intent was to defy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, sent on behalf of the Kennedy administration to force Alabama to accept court-ordered desegregation. After a tense confrontation, President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and Wallac…
Race, History, and Policy
Dwarfing all debates over civil rights policy and race relations during the three decades since 1964 has been the storm over affirmative action. Critics have argued that affirmative action in practice has meant requiring racial quotas, and hence practicing “reverse discrimination” against innocent (usually white male) third parties. This has been done, critics contend, in the name of a law, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that explicitly prohibited…

The Civil Rights Era
A Conflict of Rights
The Origins of Affirmative Action
Affirmative action policy developed during the 1960s and 1970s in two phases that embodied conflicting traditions of government regulation. The first phase, culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, was shaped by the presidency and Congress and emphasized nondiscrimination under a “race-blind Constitution,” The second phase, shaped primarily by federal agencies and courts, witnessed a shift toward minority pre…

Beltway Warriors
Include Hugh Davis Graham among those scholars who believe that history, even civil rights history, can be written from top down. His kind of insidethe-beltway administrative study, as he acknowledges, has been out-of-fashion in recent decades. Influenced by sensibilities of 1960s, and by forces as disparate as English working-class historiography of E. P. Thompson and computer-based research methodology, American historians since 1970s have gene…
Disability, Civil Rights, and Public Policy
Following on the heels of other civil rights movements, disability rights laws emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Often these laws were more symbolic than precise in terms of objectives and strategies to guide the implementation of antidiscrimination policies. Policy refinement, the process of translating legislative mandates into strategies and procedures to govern administrative action, is both dynamic and controversial. The premise of …

Structure and Governance in American Higher Education
Historians of public policy, who typically share a conviction that historical analysis can clarify the options available to policymakers, have witnessed this decade's quickening debate over the role and control of American higher education with, in one of Yogi Berra's immortal phrases, a sense of “ déjà vu all over again.” Political leaders have continued, in a near vacuum of historical knowledge, to manipulate present variables and project them …

The Paradox of American Violence
This paper is interpretive rather than empirical. It attempts to explain the paradoxical conclusion, advanced in Violence in America and sustained by cross-national com parative data, that America's history has been replete with violence, but that our vital public institutions have remained remarkably stable. Four relatively unique aspects of the American experience are adduced to explain, first, why Amer ican violence has been largely deflected …
