Although social legislation in the United States is always in
the tradition of social reform rather than fundamental social
change, the 1960s are considered a progressive period because of
the union of government and societal obligations; class
consciousness was aroused, and the redistribution of power and
resources were salient issues. In Civil Rights and the Social
Programs of the 1960s, Marcia Bok describes the background,
analyzes the process of decision making, and traces the passage of
selected landmark decisions of the 1960s. She tracks the changes
that have occurred in this legislation in the last two decades, and
discusses the current and possible future status of social policies
and programs.
The legislation examined is chosen for its diversity and
reflection of Great Society programs, and includes: The Civil
Rights Act, 1964; The Community Mental Health Centers Act, 1963;
The Economic Opportunity Act, 1964; Medicare and Medicaid, 1965;
and Head Start, 1965. Bok considers the concepts of equality and
social justice as the bases for the social legislation discussed,
and includes analysis of historical, political, and legal aspects
of the civil rights movement and concurrent events.
