Affirmative action strikes at the heart of deeply held beliefs about employment and education, about fairness, and about the troubled history of race relations in America. Published on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, this is the only book available that gives readers a balanced, non-polemical, and lucid account of this highly contentious issue. Beginning with the roots of affirmative action, Anderson describes African-American demands for employment in the defense industry--spearheaded by A. Philip Randolph's threatened March on Washington in July 1941--and the desegregation of the armed forces after World War II. He investigates President Kennedy's historic 1961 executive order that introduced the term "affirmative action" during the early years of the civil rights movement and he examines President Johnson's attempts to gain equal opportunities for African Americans. He describes President Nixon's expansion of affirmative action with the Philadelphia Plan--which the Supreme Court upheld--along with President Carter's introduction of "set asides" for minority businesses and the Bakke ruling which allowed the use of race as one factor in college admissions. By the early 1980s many citizens were becoming alarmed by affirmative action, and that feeling was exemplified by the Reagan administration's backlash, which resulted in the demise and revision of affirmative action during the Clinton years. He concludes with a look at the University of Michigan cases of 2003, the current status of the policy, and its impact. Throughout, the author weighs each side of every issue--often finding merit in both arguments--resulting in an eminently fair account of one of America's most heated debates. A colorful history that brings to life the politicians, legal minds, and ordinary people who have fought for or against affirmative action, The Pursuit of Fairness helps clear the air and calm the emotions, as it illuminates a difficult and critically important issue.

Livermore talked about his childhood, family, and early work to earn money for college, then about his early days at Reed as a student mentioning the agriculture on campus, particularly the raspberry fields and Harvey Davis. He was a day-dodger and talks about Canyon Day, Campus Day, and the tug-of-war, and of David French ’40 and Marsh Cronyn ‘40 as students, about academic requirements and professors Barry Cerf, V.L.O. Chittick, Frank Munk, and Arthur Scott and as a student in the chemistry department where he worked in the stockroom, took labs, classes, the Junior Quals, and wrote his thesis. Livermore discusses dorms, student politics, Communism at Reed, the Draft, Hitler, President Dexter Keezer, his year as president of the senior class, and the “Wally for Queen” student demonstration. He mentions Shiro Saito ’40 as a student sent for internment during World War II, and talks about his graduate and post-doctoral studies. The second interview deals with Livermore’s faculty experience in Reed’s chemistry department, hired by President Peter Odegard out of Cornell. He was interested in carrying on research connected with teaching. He taught biochemistry and was involved in NSF Research grants, the Senior Symposium, and radioactivity studies using the “pickle barrel reactor” with Cobalt 60, the predecessor of the nuclear reactor at Reed. He mentions professors Joe Bunnett, William Parker, Byron Youtz, Stanley Moore and the Velde Committee of the HUAC, and Herb Gladstone, student Linda Pauling Kamb ’54, the founding of Evergreen State College, and President Duncan Ballantine. Livermore participated in the Portland Civil Defense Program and the Fire Department with their test burning of a structure on campus containing a radioactive substance. From 1963 on, Livermore worked for the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science).
