Delaney, Paul. "Blacks Give Nixon May 17, Deadline."
New York Times, March 27, 1971, p. 13.
The Congressional Black Caucus established May 17th, 1971 (the 17th anniversary of the Brown v.
Board of Education decision) as the deadline for President Nixon to respond to their sixty-some
demands. In a press conference Congressman Ronald V. Dellums of California said the President's
response to their demand to a cessation of the Vietnam War was "less than adequate."
