Description

In this article, Dillon criticized Karen Wells's characterization of the Civil Rights Act as an oppressive, unnecessary law. Dillon countered that such acts were radical only in that the United States government ignored Black rights throughout the nation's history. Furthermore, Dillon accused the Federal government of doing nothing to actually enforce the Civil Rights Act.
