What should I include in my research paper on: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?

I know I should add how it started. What else should I research for this?

What should I include in my research paper on: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?
find the stats and figures of the percentage of AA hires who ranked lower in skills and qualifications than other people who applied for the job, then apply those figures to the balance of discrimination, preferred hiring, and 'the best person for the job' "theory"
Reply:The term Affirmative Action was first introduced by JFK about 46 years ago when he was president. In your paper make sure to detail the Bakke v University of California and Brown v Board of education these were two extremely significant supreme court decisions. Quotas, keeping a set number of slots for minorities, are also important. Actually they are no longer allowed in the college admission process after the Bakke case, however they are still used in some work places. Back up your points with examples too. Good luck.
