It was the catalyst for transformation of liberalism in the 1960 s and should be regarded as a key turning point of the end of americas long liberal tradition and the beginning of a new kind of liberalism that represents a repudiation of the older tradition. Whether this older tradition was too brittle because of its predecessors is a matter that the panel will take up. We have david brown and the author of a biography of Richard Hofstadter.
