That affirmative action in university admissions & other domains existed as long as it did is remarkable, considering the formidable opposition it encountered. From Reconstruction to affirmative action, every major effort to promote the progress of Black Americans & rectifying the impact of racial subordination has consistently faced charges of "reverse discrimination" & unfair "preference."
