For 1865, General William Tecumseh Sherman suggest to share land and property from Georgia give families of color wey become the "Forty acres and a mule" policy. The suggestion no really popular because of strong political opposition. Almost one century later (1950s-1960s), policies to help certain groups of people come up during Civil Rights Movement. The civil rights guarantees come through the interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The decisions come be known as affirmative action wey be mandatory and voluntary programs wey affirm the civil rights of people of color.

Kennedy be the first person wey use the term "affirmative action" for Executive Order 10925 to make sure say government contractors "take affirmative action to ensure say applicants dey employed, and employees dey treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."
