The case of Adam Clayton Powell, 1971
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine the facts surrounding the exclusion of Adam C, Powell Jr. from the 90th Congress and to determine why the House of Representatives adopted that particular course of action. Before he was excluded by the House of Representatives, Powell occupied a very important post in the Congress. He was able to exert influence on much of the social legislation considered by that body. In examining the case of Powell (l) Powell's personality is examined, (2) the charges against Powell are examined (3) a comparison of Powell's conduct and that of his contemporaries is made (ij.) the possibility that Powell was a victim of discrimination is examined and the legality of Powell's punishment is examined. Information about Powell's conduct can be found in the reports of the committees that investigated him. With the exception of Dodd it is difficult to secure official information concerning the misconduct of Powell's contemporaries consequently most of the information relating to their activities must be drawn from newsnaner articles and the book written by newsmen Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson. The study concludes that Powell was a victim of discrimination. His race was the largest factor in the House action against him. Other factors were an unfavorable press, his party affiliation, is unpopularity with white liberals and some black leaders and his personal habits
