Richard Nixon's approval of the Philadelphia Plan during his 1968 presidential term provided the basis for affirmative action. The plan targeted racial bias in the building trades, setting "hiring goals" rather than "quotas," although distinctions between the two terms was never fully clarified. This contradicts popular attribution of affirmative action to Nixon's Democratic predecessors.
