The Library of Congress Subject Headings have been criticized for containing biased subject headings. One leading critic has been Sanford Berman, whose 1971 monograph Prejudices and Antipathies: A Tract on the LC Subject Heads Concerning People (P\&A), listed a number of objectionable headings and proposed remedies. In the decades since P\&A was first published, many of Berman{\textquoteright}s suggestions have been implemented, while other headings remain unchanged. This paper compiles all of Berman{\textquoteright}s suggestions and tracks the changes that have occurred; a brief analysis of the remaining areas of bias is included.
