Removal of Segregation Clause in Federal Contracts

The Trump administration recently removed a clause from federal regulations that explicitly prohibited contractors from having segregated facilities. Legal experts find this change significant and symbolic, as it reverses efforts made in the 1950s and 1960s to promote integration and civil rights. The removal of the clause affects all civil federal agencies, prompting concerns about democracy and implications for federal contracts.

Trump Administration's Federal Contract Cancellations
