1964
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
“If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.” -― Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man "Let us lay aside irrelevant differences and make our nation whole." --July 2, 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson signign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. |
