这篇演讲敦促美国人把二战后的时代作为经济史，用民权革命来树立榜样。这场运动的成功速度和规模说明了一场“意料之外的革命”的动力，正如帖木儿·库兰所分析的那样，这场革命将与英国反奴隶制的胜利和苏联共产主义的垮台等著名的历史惊喜相提并论。证据证实，1960年代的突破构成了一场经济和政治革命，在许多方面，对整个南部地区以及非洲裔美国人来说都是一场经济革命。
This address urges Americanists to take the post–World War II era on board as economic history, using the Civil Rights Revolution to set an example. The speed and sweepof the movement's success illustrates the dynamics of an “unanticipated revolution” as analyzed by Timur Kuran, to be grouped with famous historical surprises such as the triumph of British antislavery and the fall of Soviet communism. The evidence confirms that the breakthroughs of the 1960s constituted an economic as well as a political revolution, in many respects an economic revolution for the entire southern region, as well as for African-Americans.
