Tony Brown’s Journal
Civil rights or
civil wrongs
President Reagan was
the subject of much
debate when he dismissed
members of the U.S.
Civil Rights Commission
who were critical of his
policies.
In a compromise, the
President and Congress
were each allowed to pick
four new members.
However, civil rights
groups charged that the
President’s appointees
mirrored his conservative
views and threaten to roll
back civil rights gains.
Adding to the storm of
controversy is a statement
made by the chairman of
the newly-reconstituted
commission, Clarence
Pendleton. Pendleton’s
assessment that the com
mission has adopted a
“neoconservative at
titude” is said to have
caused much distress at
the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
(EEOC), a federal agency
set up to enforce laws
that ban discrimination in
employment.
On the upcoming
edition of “Tony

of the Paine College
National Alumni
Association will present
an evening of- music,
April 1, at 5 p.m. The

“The commission is
now moving from a fact
finding posture to one
which determines what
ought to be studied,
which shows the com
mission is moving away
from its past independen
ce,” declares Ms. Sim
