Sample Book Insights:

#1 The result of the civil unrest in Watts in 1965 was the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which in a report released in 1967 largely blamed White racism and indifference for the despair plaguing African Americans.

#2 Following passage of the Voting Rights Act, federal examiners swept into Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia, where they added thousands of voters to the rolls. By 1970, about 66 percent of African Americans in the Deep South were registered and able to vote.

#3 Despite the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, which was aimed at the South, northern Whites resisted efforts to integrate schools and housing closer to home.

#4 The slow pace of change has sparked calls for institutional soul-searching and a renewed commitment to diversity. In 2018, the law firm Shearman Sterling hired its first-ever chief diversity officer.
