This
report finds that President Bush has neither exhibited leadership on pressing civil rights issues, nor
taken actions that matched his words. The report reaches this conclusion after analyzing and
summarizing numerous documents, including historical literature, reports, scholarly articles,
presidential and administration statements, executive orders, policy briefs, documents of Cabinet-level
agencies, federal budgets and other data. (from Executive Summary, pdf p. 8)
