Book Chapter
Civil Rights and the First Black President
2014
Overview
This chapter examines the election of President Obama and his take on civil rights policy. The chapter argues against the idea that Obama’s election means that civil rights are no longer necessary. It suggests that citizenship rights and human rights actually need to be expanded. Obama has tended to emphasize personal responsibility and has deemphasized race-specific policies. In the end, the election of a black president has not led to aggressive governmental policies to end social and economic inequality.
