Lockheed has been one of American's largest corporations and most
important defense contractors from World War II to the present day
(since 1995 as part of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company). During
the postwar era, its executives enacted complicated business
responses to black demands for equality. Based on the papers of a
personnel executive, the memoir of an African American employee,
interviews, and company publications, this narrative history offers
a unique inside perspective on the evolution of equal employment
and affirmative action policies at Lockheed Aircraft's massive
Georgia plant from the early 1950s through the early 1980s.Randall
L. Patton provides a rare, perhaps unique, account of African
American struggle and management response, set within the context
of the regional and national struggles for civil rights. The book
describes the complex interplay of black protest, federal policy,
and management action in a crucial space in the national economy
and within the South, contributing to business history, policy
history, labor history, and civil rights history.
