Abstract:Avtorja v prispevku obravnavata delovanje Johna Blatnika, ameriškega kongresnika slovenskega porekla v predstavniškem domu, med letoma 1963 in 1964, ko so sprejemali temeljni zakonski predlog o državljanskih pravicah, ki je odpravil formalno diskriminacijo temnopoltih Američanov. V prispevku je povzeta korespondenca med Blatnikom in volivci 8. kongresnega okraja v Minnesoti, kjer je živelo veliko slovenskih Američanov. Avtorja na kratko povzameta tudi zgodovino rasne diskriminacije v ZDA.
