520 |a This article revisits the question of the extent to which Catholics participated in civil rights work in San Francisco, the second largest city of the Western United States at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The authors cover a longer time period and draw upon more extensive archival and oral history sources than previous accounts to argue that Catholics played an active and constructive role in the city's racial justice campaign from the World War II years to the high point of racial liberalism in the mid 1960s. Catholic activists, lay men and women alike, were present at the creation of the equal rights campaign in 1942 when they helped organize the Bay Area Council Against Discrimination. The laity and clerical activists (supported by their archbishops) helped publicize the importance of racial equality during and after World War II and contributed to the establishment of local and state equal rights legislation during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. The article concludes with an analysis of Catholics in the campaign for and against California's fair housing legislation during the early 1960s.
