One pamphlet written by Lucy S. Dawidowicz entitled, "The 1966 Elections : A Political Pathwork," published by the American Jewish Committee dated 1967. Offers an analysis of the 1966 Midterm Elections which gave Republicans a substantial victory. Delves into Republican conservatism in California; a backlash in states where little support was found for candidates campaigning for civil rights; and voting as minorities.
American Jewish Committee is an advocacy group established in the 1900s. Recognized for a history of fighting against discrimination in the United States, most notably for filing a friend-of-the-court-brief in the case of Brown v. Board of Education.
The 1966 midterm elections took place during Lyndon Johnson's second presidential term where Democrats lost 48 seats in Congress to Republicans. This was also the first time that African American voter turnout occurred after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
