Episode notes
In the 1950s, a majority of white voters supported government aid and initiatives like the New Deal, viewing government as a means of support. However, as soon as government assistance extended beyond white people, white support for collective government response drastically declined. This shift marked the rise of leaders like Reagan and Nixon and the erosion of programs like the New Deal. Discriminatory actions, such as closing public pools after desegregation, demonstrate this change in attitude towards government assistance for all races in the 20th century.
