Digital History: Affirmative Action and the Case of Allan Bakke [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

The history of affirmative action was interwoven with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Read about how the federal government under both President Kennedy and President Nixon attempted to open up jobs to people of color. Colleges modified their acceptance requirements in order to increase the number of African American students. Find out about Allan Bakke's lawsuit charging reverse discrimination, and participate in the simulation of the Supreme Court case. [pdf]
