Description: 

Talk by Representative Craig Washington on the basis for inequality in the United States. He provides a historical background of Black rights, from slavery through reconstruction and up to the present.

The battle has arrived in Washington DC, where the 1991 Civil Rights Bill was vetoed by President Bush.
