“Lillian Smith closely observed the young women she encountered. In 1956, she had harsh words for Vassar students. "They shun wisdom, vision, love, compassion, hope." Smith noted that above all else they sought "security from hope. If they have hope, then they will have to assume the responsibility that lies before them. But as long as one is hopeless, one need do nothing, be nothing: hopelessness can pay high dividends (especially in the world we all art, literature, etc. etc.).”

“This heroic fable of capital-intensive agriculture demeaned its labor-intensive forebears by dismissing millions of farmers as inept and unable to adjust to science and technology. This sanitized version of rural life ran parallel to that of a successful civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s that brought equal rights to all Americans.”
