RIGHTS AT RISK: EQUALITY IN AN AGE OF TERRORISM (2002)

In this report, the seventh biennial civil rights report issued by the Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights, the Commission confronts the Bush II Administration's neglect of crucial civil rights policy enforcement while waging its vigorous war on terrorism. The report addresses the Bush record thus far, along with the last two years of the Clinton Administration, on a range of civil rights issues, and includes specific recommendations to tackle issues concerning judicial authority and appointments, race and poverty,  voting rights, immigration, employment, affirmative action, education, housing, criminal justice and hate crimes, and gay and lesbian rights.
