Bridge to One America The Civil Rights Performance of the Clinton Administration

During the period from Jan. 1993 to Jan. 2001 -- the term of the Clinton administration -- President Clinton sought both to seize the opportunities & to confront the challenges created by an increasingly diverse America. Unfortunately, his eight years in office must be viewed as a promise only partly fulfilled in the civil rights (CR) context. This study finds that the Clinton admin. transformed Federal CR enforcement & policy efforts in a number of important ways, but ultimately failed to develop &/or execute effective policies in several key areas relating to CR enforcement, incl. immigration, drug enforce., the death penalty, & disparate impact discrimination in the educational context.Dickerson, Terri A. is the author of 'Bridge to One America The Civil Rights Performance of the Clinton Administration' with ISBN 9780756723798 and ISBN 0756723795.
