Answer:

A requirement for government contractors to hire minority workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was based on executive order 11246 signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Nevertheless, it was declared illegal in 1968 but a revised version was successfully defended by the Nixon administration one year later. In 1969 a plan was implemented that requires federal contractors to meet certain goals for hiring minority employees in order to combat institutionalized discrimination.

I hope this answer helps you.
