About this title

Synopsis

For the Kennedy administration through the end of the Reagan era, the Potomac Institute gave vital, behind-the-scenes support to countless public- and private-sector initiatives related to equal opportunity, urban social problems, and race relations. Part history and part memoir of the institute's leader, Harold C. Fleming, The Potomac Chronicle tells for the first time how the institute served as a creative broker of talent, ideas, and resources among minorities, activists, and interest groups. Owing to Fleming's dedication, coolheadedness, and low-key approach, no other such organization was as well linked to - and as trusted by - both government policymakers and southern civil rights leaders.
