Volume IV of The Papers of Clarence Mitchell Jr. covers 1951, the
year America entered the Korean War, through 1954, when the NAACP
won its Brown v. Board of Education case, in which the Supreme
Court declared that segregation was discrimination and thus
unconstitutional. The decision enabled Mitchell to implement the
legislative program that President Truman's Committee on Civil
Rights outlined in its landmark 1947 report, To Secure These
Rights..The papers show how Mitchell persuaded President Truman to
extend further the Fair Employment Practices Com-mission idea by
issuing an executive order to enforce the nondiscrimination clause
in government contracts with private industry; President Eisenhower
further revised and strengthened this order. Mitchell similarly won
the support of both presidents in ending segregation in many
government-supported facilities and throughout the armed
services..He expanded President Eisenhower's commitment to ending
discrimination in federal funding by leading the struggle to get
Congress to enact laws barring such practices in aid to education
and all similar programs.
