From President Kennedy to President Nixon to President Clinton. there has always been bipartisan recognition in the White House and Congress that the playing field is not level for women and minorities and widespread acceptance of the need to take steps to remedy the effects of persistent discrimination. Civil rights is still the unfinished business of America. We have made significant progress toward justice for all and opportunity for all. But. as the church arson epidemic. the Texaco and Mitsubishi scandals. the Good 01 Boys Round Up. and the brutalizing of a Haitian immigrant by police officers in New York City demonstrate. we are not there yet. Incredibly. there are some who believe that discrimination is a thing of the past. and that the playing field is now level for women. for minorities. and for other victims of discrimination. They are wrong.
