Unmasking the Civil Rights Bill Pamphlet, 1964

This pamphlet, Unmasking the Civil Rights Bill, was circulated in 1964, and presented the dissenting view of six Judiciary Committee members, E.E. Willis, E.L. Forrester, William Tuck, Robert Ashmore, John Dowdy, and Basil Whitener. The text argues that anti-discrimination regulation would undermine the individual freedoms of all citizens, and that desegregation would cause great harm to businesses, farmers, and labor unions.
