Board of Education decision in 1954. • "Separate but Equal"A legal doctrine in United States constitutional law that justified systems of segregation.

It was initially formed to address American Indian sovereignty, treaty issues, spirituality, and leadership, while simultaneously addressing incidents of police harassment and racism against Native Americans forced to move away from reservations and tribal culture by the 1950s-era enforcement of the U.S. federal government-enforced Indian Termination Policies originally created in the 1930s. • Apollo ProgramA U.S. human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that landed the first humans on Earth's Moon in 1969–1972.

Politics and Culture of Abundance: 1943–1960 William Frantz Elementary School, New Orleans, 1960: U.S. marshals escorting a young black girl, Ruby Bridges, to school. Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana, and was escorted both to and from the school while segregationist protests continued. Many resisted the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. In 1960, the New Orleans school desegregation crisis ensued. As soon as Bridges entered the school, some white parents pulled their own children out. All the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled.

Politics and Culture of Abundance: 1943–1960 SCLC Fundraising Poster Depicting Martin Luther King, Jr. Shortly after King's death, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference used this poster—issued in an edition of 100—for a fundraising drive. The portrait was based on a drawing by Ben Shahn, commissioned for Time magazine's March 19, 1965 cover. Time's publisher noted that Shahn, "as famed in his own medium of protest as King is in his," greatly admired the civil rights leader and felt that King had "moved more people by his oratory" than anyone else. After the artist's friend Stefan Martin made a wood engraving based on the drawing, Shahn authorized its use in support of various causes. This 1968 poster included two additions to the portrait: the orange seal or artist's "chop" that Shahn had made in Japan, incorporating the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and an excerpt from King's famous "mountaintop" speech in the artist's own distinctive lettering.
