![["The document discusses the issue of race discrimination and the law, arguing for legislation to outlaw discrimination as a way to strengthen democracy. The author, Carey McWilliams, highlights the importance of challenging discrimination in all its forms through legal means, and emphasizes the role of community leaders and lawyers in this effort. McWilliams also addresses the misconception that legislation against discrimination is futile, pointing out that it has successfully challenged discrimination in various areas. The document calls for cooperation between social scientists and lawyers to present data on the negative effects of discrimination and advocates for the enactment of Fair Racial Practice Acts to combat discrimination effectively. Ultimately, the text stresses the importance of rooting out discrimination from American society to safeguard democracy and ensure peace."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201946-CAC_CC_047_1_5_16_0000/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_16_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Challenging Racial Discrimination: A Legal Perspective by Carey McWilliams")
