Question

"Your imagination, your initiative, and your indignation will determine whether we build a society where progress is the servant of
our needs, or a society where old values and new visions are buried under unbridled growth. For in your time we have the
opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society. The Great Society
rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our
time. But that is just the beginning. The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to
enlarge his talents. It is a place where leisure is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a feared cause of boredom and
restlessness. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the
desire for beauty and the hunger for community."
