INTRODUCTIONAs Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Burke Marshall had more day-to-day

responsibility for civil rights than anyone in the Kennedy administration. In addition tobeing in charge of the Justice Department division that was on the front-line of lawenforcement in civil rights, Marshall was directly involved in managing the various crisesthat occurred in the racial area, including the Freedom Rides, the desegregation of theUniversities of Mississippi and Alabama, and the Birmingham protests in the spring of1963. As an adviser to President Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy, hecontributed significantly to the development of the broad civil rights bill that the adminis-tration proposed in 1963, and he was then involved in the struggle for enactment.

Few observers of the civil rights scene in 1960 would have guessed just how importanta figure Marshall would become, for he was largely unknown to them initially. ClarenceMitchell, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's highlyexperienced and astute Washington lobbyist, in addressing the NAACP board, charac-terized Marshall's appointment as "perhaps the most enigmatic move of the new admin-istration." Although Mitchell had heard that Marshall favored protecting civil rights, therewas "nothing in his public record to show" that he had "any firsthand knowledge of theproblem."

Indeed, the lack of public record on civil rights and Marshall's absence from the field ofadvocacy help explain why Robert Kennedy appointed him Assistant Attorney General.Marshall's low profile on civil rights made confirmation by the Southern-dominatedSenate Judiciary Committee much easier. Moreover, Kennedy wanted a tough andobjective lawyer in that job, not a crusader or special-pleader. Thirty-eight years old at thetime of his appointment, Marshall was a graduate of Yale Law School and a partner in theprestigious Washington law firm of Covington and Burling, where he specialized inantitrust work. He was interested in civil rights, however, had done some teaching in thatarea and had contributed, behind the scenes, to the development of the voting refereeplan that Congress had approved in the 1960 Civil Rights Act.

Interestingly, Robert Kennedy almost did not appoint Marshall, whom he had nevermet before interviewing him for the job. Marshall, like Kennedy, was shy and reticent andafter the interview Kennedy wondered whether he would be able to communicate withMarshall. Byron White, who was going to be Deputy Attorney General and later aSupreme Court Justice, persuaded Kennedy to hire him. Robert Kennedy, his biog-rapher, Arthur Schlesinger later wrote, "was quickly impressed by the self-effacingMarshall's precise mind, incorruptible character, dry humor and intense moral convic-tion. There was no one on whose judgement he relied more during the rest of his life."

Because legislative prospects for civil rights looked bleak at the start of his administra-tion, President Kennedy stressed executive action as an alternative approach. One ofthe most promising areas for such action was voting rights enforcement. Congress had

recently enacted legislation in that area, but it had not been fully utilized to date. Inaddition, the franchise seemed to hold out the hope of laying a foundation for theestablishment of other rights. Marshall, therefore, mobilized the forty lawyers in hisdivision, got additional help from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and dramaticallyincreased voting rights investigations and enforcement. With his encouragement, alarge non-partisan voter registration effort, the Voter Education Project, was launched inthe South.

These efforts are well documented in Marshall's papers, and so are the frustrationsand disappointments that accompanied them. Alongside the successes, there weresome glaring failures as federal district judges, some of them appointed by Kennedy,proved less than diligent about securing voting rights. Meanwhile, voting rights workerswere sometimes victims of violence at the hands of vigilantes and local officials.Increasingly, these victims looked to the Justice Department to provide them with policeprotection. Marshall repeatedly responded, however, that Washington's ability to in-tervene in local law enforcement matters was restricted by law, especially by the doctrineand practice of federalism. (In 1964 Marshall expanded on his views in a book, Fed-eralism and Civil Rights.) The victims of violence were generally not persuaded by suchreasoning. Federal protection marked the area of greatest strain between the adminis-tration and the civil rights movement.

Marshall's papers shed a good deal of light on this strained area. His papers alsoilluminate many other important civil rights developments and events. These includeschool desegregation cases, the desegregation of the Universities of Mississippi andAlabama, the Birmingham crisis, the development of the 1963 Civil Rights Bill, andadministration efforts to achieve equal employment opportunity. Finally, his papers areinformative about relationships between the administration and civil rights organizationsand advocates, including the Civil Rights Commission, the Voter Education Project, theStudent Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
