Produced by the President’s Committee on Government Contracts, this film dramatizes the racial tensions caused by the first hiring of a black secretary by a private company doing federal contract work. In 1953, President Eisenhower issued an executive order requiring equal employment opportunities for minorities in government contract work, and this film was widely distributed to encourage compliance with the anti-discrimination effort. close
