      I think the inaugural ceremony did well as far as indicating that be America was young and strong and as the speech mentioned, we can are aware of our heritage as a melting pot. Future events led to other historical reminiscing, and those years left an enduring impression on those who lived them, and also mass media was being employed as never before. Later events have had a tendency to obscure the historical facts in a certain way,, but that causes more debate, one of the more critical be points of the 1960 election.

For Example, take a walk down the streets of L.A. at that time period, the streets were cleaner, people dressed up more and were classier, and blacks and Latinos were not as homeless as they are today, for Gay population, AIDS didn't exist yet, so it probably was better in some ways for them too.
