Januar 17, 1961, die White House. Obwohl es bald eine Tradition in modernen Präsidentschaften werden, sind sie in der Ära von Dwight D. Eisenhower immer noch eine Auszeichnung der Regierungen. Aber an diesem Tag, der Tag der Begründung seines Nachfolgers, für Präsident Dwight Eisenhower ist seine fähige Begründung für das Land ein Imperativ geworden.
After leading the nation to victory in World War II and serving a full two terms as its commander-in-chief for the last eight years, one might expect this to be a glowing tribute to his own administration's political success, a victory lap. But instead, this speech will have a darker, more urgent and prescient tone.
A former five-star general means to warn his country of a clear and present danger to its existence. So what is it? This dire threat? About who or what does Eisenhower wish to raise an alarm?

This is American History Hit and I'm Don Wildman.

Auf dem Bild hat Marilyn Monroe adulte Zuschauer in Filmen wie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, während Teenies über James Deans brütende Brüste in Rebel Without a Cause gezwungen. Während dieser Präsidentschaft haben die McDonnell Brothers Ray Kroc getroffen, die Notion der modernen Suburbia wurde gehackt.
Eine generell konservative soziale Ordnung hat gewachsen und die späteren Nostalgie von American Graffiti und Happy Days inspiriert. But this was also the time of Rosa Parks famously refusing to give up her seat and Martin Luther King Jr. emerging to lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In discussing the Eisenhower Presidency, we'll focus today on its crucial role in the Cold War and civil rights.
