Discrimination is often most apparent in the work place, due to disparity in employee treatment and uneven opportunity for advancement and promotions.
Accounts of discrimination against African-American employees in both government and private settings have been documented and detailed in Freedom over the years. An extensive probe of racial discrimination in certain offices of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in the late 1980s and early 1990s formed the basis of testimony presented to the United States Senate Committee on Governmental Operations. Freedom’s exposure included evidence of promotions denied, management positions closed to qualified minorities, and job ratings downgraded so unqualified white applicants could move into jobs instead of qualified black applicants.
In the private sector, Freedom has exposed “glass ceilings” placed on minority advancement—particularly where hypocritical institutions present a sanctimonious image of equal opportunity on the one hand yet foster prejudice against minorities on the other.
