Richard Nixon (20 janv. 1969 – 9 août 1974)
Description:
RepublicanExtended 'affirmative action' to promote wider equality. All employers with federal contracts were required to draft policies showing they were actively promoting the employment of African Americans. This, along with the act of 1972 extending equal employment legislation to all federal, local and state governments, showed a conscious desire by the government to go beyond simply ensuring equal political rights to promote greater prosperity and stability by making working practices more equal. However, although Johnson had secured greater political equality in the 1960s, subsequent presidents found it harder to address the remaining social and economic inequalities.
