Lion in the Lobby, Clarence Mitchell, Jr.’s Struggle for the Passage of Civil Rights Laws Second EditionBy Denton L. Watson
“He didn’t have the highest title in the room, but all in all he had forced down my door more than any other persons.” President Lyndon Johnson *** “I believe that Clarence and I had a better personal rapport than I had with any of the other civil rights leaders. . . .” President Gerald R. Ford *** “I worked very closely with Clarence on the Voting rights Act, the Fair Housing Act, all those busing issues that we had that were so damn tough. . . . He was a very practical, solid but tough guy. If you were working with him in an honest and full-hearted way, he gave you a hundred percent in return. If he thought you were slipping around playing games, he would spot that right away.” Vice President Walter Mondale **** “While he was not as well known outside Washington as other civil rights leaders, Clarence Mitchell was the movement’s skilled negotiator, the man who translated demands into laws. In the halls of Congress he won victories without making enemies because he was strong without ever being mean. Beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1957, every anti-discrimination statute for a quarter of a century bears his mark. His life’s work, inspiring those who shared his hopes and eventually persuading almost all of those who hesitated, profoundly changed and uplifted the nation.” The Washington Post March 20, 1984
