Episode 14:
The Conservative Era From Reagan to the Age of Obama
In this episode, The Conservative Era: From
Reagan to the Age of Obama. The late 1970s and 1980s brought about a
shift in American attitudes towards race and civil rights. In this
episode we will see how the neoconservative movement was able to
simultaneously embrace the ideals of the old civil rights movement
and leaders such as Martin Luther King, while at the same time
undermining the systemic changes that the civil rights movement
fought for. |
