Read her book “The Forgotten Man”, which was an excellent exposé on the Great Depression.

I have read The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression (New York: Harper, 2007) and Coolidge (New York: Harper, 2014). Both are excellent books.

I have heard that President Nixon does not come off well in her new book on the Great Society.

1960 U.S. Census = white o-o-w (out-of-wedlock) births = 3%
blacks = 25%

1965 - Under Secretary of Labor Patrick Moynihan, a sociologist, releases …

Moynihan argued that the rise in black single-mother families was caused not by a lack of jobs, but by a destructive vein in ghetto culture, which could be traced to slavery times and continued discrimination in the American South under Jim Crow. Black sociologist E. Franklin Frazier had introduced that idea in the 1930s, but Moynihan was considered one of the first academics to defy conventional social-science wisdom about the structure of poverty. His report focused on the deep roots of black poverty in the United States and controversially concluded that the high rate of families headed by single mothers would greatly hinder progress of blacks toward economic and political equality. Moynihan concluded, "The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States."

1965 - POTUS #36 LBJ's "Great Society" social welfare programs were passed.

2010 U.S. Census (50 years after LBJ's "Great Society") = white o-o-w births = 13%, blacks = 72%
