Detail
Although a liberal program encompassing the expansion of civil rights, economicopportunity, environmentalism, access to education, and other policies advancedthrough the 1960s and 1970s, dissent was always present. By the end of the 1970s,this dissent over liberal programs, along with dissatisfaction with the nation’sforeign affairs, ongoing economic crisis, energy costs, and cultural upheavals, ledto a political shift favoring a conservative ideology and the inauguration ofRonald Reagan as President in 1981. The correspondence in the final two displaycases provides a sense of the debate over liberal policies leading to the election of1980. In their familiar issues and arguments, almost thirty years after Reagan’selection, we find the continuing influence of Great Society liberalism and thepresent opportunity to join in the enduring themes of political debate inAmerica.
