Abstract
The sixties were marked by optimistic dreams — of a color-blind society, of black power, of reparations for oppression. Movements pursuing these goals fell short of full success but had a significant impact on society. While the right of every citizen to equality without regard to race was reaffirmed, a new principle of rights based on ethnicity emerged. Assimilation lost its luster as a goal but significant black power was not achieved. The latest report on blacks in American society shows stagnation and even decline in their economic situation.
