3The Other America
- What stood out to you as interesting or
unexpected? What questions do you still have? - What, according to Harrington, contributes to the
invisibility of the poor? Can you think of
additional factors? - What happened/changed to make the poor invisible
(i.e. why wasnt this true during earlier
periodsor was it)? - How is The Other America a challenge to the

4JFK/LBJ Domestic Policy The New Frontier and
The Great Society

5- Let the word go forth from this time and place,
to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been
passed to a new generation of Americans, born in
this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a
hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient
heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the
slow undoing of those human rights to which this
nation has always been committedLet every nation
know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we
shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to
assure the survival and the success of liberty.
We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier
Americans must be new pioneers and explore
uncharted areas of science and spaceunconquered
pockets of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered
questions of poverty and surplus. -

7- The Great Society is a place where every child
can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to
enlarge his talents. It is a place where leisure
is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a
feared case of boredom and restlessness. It is a
place where the city of man serves not only the
needs of the body and the demands of commerce but
the desire for beauty and the hunger for
community. It is a place where man can renew
contact with nature. It is a place which honors
creation for its own sake and for what it adds to
the understanding of the race. It is a place
where men are more concerned with the quality of
their goals than the quantity of their goods. - -Lyndon B. Johnson-
- 1964
