Historical discrimination
against minorities makes reverse
discrimination now a necessary
adjustment for past inequalities, a
black Columbia University
professor speaking at USC said
Thursday. %
NATHAN HUGGINS spoke in
Gambrell Hall about changing
concepts of American citizenship.
"History argues for compensatory
adjustment in the present for
inequalities in the past. TTiis
discrimination is necessary to
overcome a history of disadvantages,"
he said.
Huggins said affirmative action
programs, which are supposed to
guarantee blacks, women and
other minorities equality in
proiessions and the labor force,
should be continued.
"A few years back," he said,
"the University of California at
Berkeley tried to see how women
placed in the structure of the
university." The study concentrated
on the French department.

women made up only 1 per cent,"
he said. "Something was happening
there. Is it fair to say now
the French department, or any
place with a situation like this,
shouldn't now make some effort to
hire women?"
If the specific effort is made to
hire members of minorities that
have been discriminated against,
the minorities can achieve the
parity they have historically been
denied, he said.
BLACKS WERE denied the
rights of American citizenship
from the voru J?? -f "

constitution itself, there is not
much to suggest the framers
wanted to include blacks under the
term 'citizen,'" he said. Slaves
were counted for tax purposes, he
said, but not as citizens.

stitution does not explicitly
discriminate (for example, slaves
are never mentioned by name but
are called "those held to labor"), it
is fair.
"BUT BY NOT being explicit-by
omission-there is an acceptance of
unequal treatment of blacks," he
said. "This is trilP with uinman

non-whites other than blacks."
An important court case concerning
black citizenship was the
Dred Scott decision in 1857,
Huggins said. Scott, a Missouri
slave who had gone to Minnesota,
claimed when he returned to
Missouri that he was free because
he had lived in a free state.
Supreme Court Chief Justice
Roger B. Taney said people of
African descent had never been
considered citizens and had no
right to sue in the courts.
"Liberal historians dismissed
the decision as being politically
inspired," Huggins said. "I'd like
to suggest he may very well be
correct. Neither the founding
fathers nor white people assumed
blacks to be citizens." He said

this concept, he said. The amendment
declared that anyone who
was bom in the United States or
who became naturalized was a
citizen of the country and of his
state. No state could make laws
denying a citizen due process of
law, Huggins said.
However, the Supreme Court in
1883 denied the 14th Amendment
gave Congress the right to reach
over state boundaries, Huggins
said.
"We were back to Scott and dual
(state and national) citizenship,"
he said. "What the community said
were your rignts were your
rights." The North and South were
both discriminatory, he said.

States refused to do much to
affect the quality of citizenship for
blacks.
BLACKS COULD not vote or own
land and were not protected
agaiast violence such as lynchings,
he said. "The way the government
and community saw it, the victim
was outside the community.
Everyone accepted the alienation
of non-white groups."
He said in jobs, civil service
positions and professional
education, white-specifically
white males-had always been
preferred. "Most universities, for
example, restricted thp nnmhor nt
Jews in medical school and also
restricted women and non-whites."
