Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Authorization of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, July 20, 1995
In March we indicted three men in Lubbock, tx, who, according to the indictment, drove to the predominantly black section of that city literally huntin african-americans. They lured three black men to their car ans then shot them at close range with a short barrel shotgun. White officers in a city police department in Florida admitted that the police department did not hire a black applicant for 30 ears, regularly used racial epithets in the workplace, and routine y threw applications from qualified blacks in the trash.
In a Louisiana corrections center the minimum passing score on the required written examination was 90 for men but 105 for women. In fact, one woman scored 100 on the exam but was dis qualified while a year later a male applicant scored a 79 and was hired, this despite the fact that he had a prior arrest and didn't have the required high school diploma.
