  • By
  • the
  • mid-1980s
  • Affirmative
  • Action
  • was
  • taking
  • its
  • most
  • harmful
  • blows
  • from
  • the
  • office
  • of
  • the
  • President
  • of
  • the
  • United
  • States.
  • The
  • apparent
  • irony
  • is
  • that
  • the
  • beginning
  • place
  • of
  • Affirmative
  • Action
  • would
  • ultimately
  • lead
  • to
  • its
  • end.
  • Workers
  • in
  • every
  • area
  • of
  • the
  • American
  • workforce
  • quickly
  • picked
  • up
  • the
  • President's
  • mantra
  • to
  • abandon
  • government
  • regulations,
  • enforcement
  • and
  • found
  • personal
  • ways
  • to
  • express
  • their
  • frustration
  • with
  • Affirmative
  • Action.Calvin
  • Tallman
  • son
  • of
  • Pearl
  • and
  • grandson
  • of
  • Jacob
  • and
  • Clara
  • Tallman
  • held
  • a
  • management
  • position
  • in
  • the
  • Personnel
  • Department
  • at
  • AMC's
  • facilities
  • in
  • Kenosha.
  • In
  • addition
  • to
  • performing
  • and
  • supervising
  • personnel
  • activities,
  • Calvin
  • was
  • the
  • company's
  • vanguard
  • in
  • seeking
  • new
  • opportunities
  • for
  • women
  • and
  • minorities
  • while
  • protecting
  • the
  • gains
  • already
  • made.
  • During
  • the
  • course
  • of
  • the
  • story
  • Calvin
  • is
  • able
  • to
  • salvage
  • two
  • black
  • men
  • keeping
  • them
  • in
  • positions
  • never
  • before
  • held
  • by
  • a
  • person
  • of
  • color,
  • and
  • certainly
  • not
  • a female.
