That was the year before Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which might be the greatest achievement of the civil-rights movement. In 1964 only 6% of blacks in Mississippi were registered to vote, the lowest percentage in the region.

Farber was a talk radio guy. Talkers magazine ranked him the 9th greatest radio talk show host of all time.
Farber began hosting a talk show in New York City in the early 1960s. At first, he was a liberal anti-Communist. However, as the 60s wore painfully on, he moved to the right.
My New York cousins used to talk about Farber, but I never had the opportunity to listen to him during this period. Eventually, Farber went national, and for a few years in the late 1970s, I listened to him fairly regularly late at night.
Farber was an immense talent and a very clear thinker. I admit, however, that I remember him best for the commercials he delivered, especially for Prevention Magazine.
