Nixon's AA plan was more indepth than the ones before it, but it certainly wasn't the first, and as the timeline points out, he wasn't even the first to use the phrase "affirmative action."

You're wrong because my desk is brown.
You didn't mention my desk really in your post, just like i didn't say Nixon was "the first to use the phrase "affirmative action" or he came up with the idea. He was the first to implement it.
And actually that timeline isn't even right if it doesn't include In FDR's Executive Order 8802 or Truman's government contract compliance.
