On Civil Rights: Supported racial and gender set-asides as head of Texas Bar

Harriet Miers supported affirmative action goals in the early 1990s when she served as president of the State Bar of Texas, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. Miers wrote that "our legal community must reflect our population as a whole," and under her leadership the lawyers' association supported racial and gender set-asides and numerical targets for jobs, the newspaper reported.
