Imagine...
If Richard Nixon had not amended
EEO law in 1969
Let's have diversity!

Imagine the diversity our nation could have if Richard Nixon had not amended the 1964 Civil Rights Act in 1969 to include women.

Imagine walking into a human resources or public relations offier, or watching television news, and seeing black men, people of Indian descent (country); native Americans, people of southeast Asian descent - instead of white women because they are the protected majority in the workforce. Imagine gay men and women in HR and PR!

It was a president who established the amendment to the law. Let's ask the current president to rescind it.

Women exceed 54 percent of the workforce but enjoy a minority protected class. Some fields, like human resources and public relations, are almost exclusively female. Let's return diversity to the workforce.
