The course of Owen Wesley Siler’s life forever changed when he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in 1941. After he entered the Coast Guard Academy, Siler’s path soon led him to serve in the Second World War and and after the war, he rose to the rank of admiral and commandant of the USCG. Posthumously shared in Admiral Siler’s words and edited by his daughter, this memoir recounts a young man’s journey of dedication and focus as he traveled from a farm in California to the Coast Guard academy, through the turmoil of the Second World War, and finally into thirty-five years of dedicated service. In his fascinating narrative, Admiral Siler details how he honed his lifelong interest in aviation into an occupation that expanded the lifesaving capabilities of the Coast Guard search and rescue efforts from US coasts to international waters, and how as commandant, he set new precedents that transformed future operations of the Coast Guard. Farmer, Flyer, Futurist offers unique insight into a military man’s role with the United States Coast Guard during a critical time in history.

After growing up in California, Siler attended Santa Maria Junior College, 1938-40, and then was a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy. He was in the class of 1944, which graduated in 1943 because of the need for wartime officers. During World War II he served in the attack transports USS Hunter Liggett (APA-14) and USS Bayfield (APA-33). Postwar service included Alameda, California; as navigator of the cutter USCGC Taney (WPG-37); and shore duty in at the 11th Coast Guard District, Long Beach. He took flight training at Corpus Christi and Pensacola in 1947-48, then had initial duty as an aviator, 1948-52, at Port Angeles, Washington. After instrument training at Corpus Christi in 1952, Siler spent 1952-54 at Coast Guard Air Detachment, Barbers Point, Hawaii. From 1954 to 1959 he was aide and pilot for the Coast Guard Commandant, Admiral Alfred Richmond. From 1959 to 1962 Siler commanded Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi; served 1962-64 in the 17th Coast Guard District office in Alaska; and in 1964-66 was executive officer and then commanding officer of Coast Guard Air Station Miami. After a year as a student at the National War College in Washington, he served 1967 to 1971 in the management division of Coast Guard headquarters. After selection in 1971 as rear admiral, he commanded Second Coast Guard District in St. Louis until 1974. Admiral Siler was Commandant of the Coast Guard, 1974-78. During his tenure he was involved in the recapitalization of the service through procurement of new ships and aircraft; enforcement of fisheries laws in extended economic zones; concerns about pollution; and expanded opportunities for women, including admission to the Coast Guard Academy and service on board cutters.

On March 8, 1971, the Supreme Court of the United States decided a case, Griggs v. Duke Power Co., brought by thirteen African American employees who worked as common laborers and janitors at one of Duke Power’s facilities. The decision, in plaintiffs’ favor, marked a profound and enduring challenge to the dominance of white males in the workplace. In this book, Robert Belton, who represented the plaintiffs for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and argued the case in the lower courts, gives a firsthand account of legal history in the making—and a behind-the-scenes look at the highly complex process of putting civil rights law to work. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 eliminated much blatant discrimination, but after its enactment and before Griggs, businesses held the view that a commitment to equality required only eliminating policies and practices that were intentionally discriminatory—the "disparate treatment" test. In Griggs v. Duke Power Co., the Supreme Court ruled that a "disparate impact" test could also apply—that the 1964 Civil Rights Act extended to practices with a discriminatory effect. In tracing the impact of the Griggs ruling on employment practices, this book documents the birth, maturation, death, and rebirth of the disparate impact theory, including its erosion by later Supreme Court decisions and its restoration by congressional action in the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Belton conducts us through this historic case from the original lawsuit to the Supreme Court decision in Griggs and beyond as he traces the post-Griggs developments in the lower courts, the Supreme Court, and Congress; he provides informed insights into both litigators' and judges' perspectives and decision-making. His work situates the case in its legal, social, and historical contexts and explores the relationship between public and private enforcement of the law, with a focus on the Legal Defense Fund’s litigation campaign against employment discrimination. A detailed examination of the development of legal principles under Title VII, this book tells the story of this seminal decision on equal employment law and offers an unprecedented close-up view of personal conviction, legal strategy, and historical forces combining to effect dramatic social change.
