The American Left: Civil Rights and Black Power
Manage episode 427869141 series 3483998
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the long-term ramifications of the civil rights movement before introducing Hillsdale College politics professor Kevin Slack.
American politics have drastically transformed over the last few decades as a ruling elite has emerged that, despite being from different parties, largely shares radical ideologies centered around identity politics. The change is not simply the natural conclusion of progressivism, but rather a series of radical movements that have provided new ideas and shifted the Left from the liberalism of Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Awokening of Barack Obama’s second term.
The Civil Rights movement was animated by three separate approaches to bring blacks more fully into the affluence of society. As the movement became more radical, it ultimately left many blacks in worse conditions than they had been in previously.
