observe today not a
victory of party, but a celebration
of
freedom--symbolizing
an
end,
as
well
as
a
beginning--
signifying
renewal,
as
well
as

celebration
of freedom. It symbolizing
a new start , which fulfill hope, freedom. Equal
rights. It is
also the victory of all
the American people and the human rights career.
new generations advocate
freedom, equal rights and peace.
“…We
dare not forget today that we are the heirs of
that first revolution. Let the
word go
forth from this time and place, to friend and foe
alike, that the torch has been
passed
to
a
new
generation
of
Americans--born
in
this
century,
tempered
by
war,
disciplined by a hard and bitter peace,
proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to
witness or permit
the slow
undoing of those human rights
to
which this Nation has
always
been committed, and to which we are committed
today at home and around
the world…”

张汉熙
,1995,51-56)
Some Americans proudly called the 1950s
the Placid Decade. The United States
had made huge profits in the Second
World War... As a result, the post-war years saw
a degree of prosperity of capitalist
economy. The relation between capital and labor
became
less
intense.(
狄红秋
,2008;209-211)There
was
a
relative
peace.
As
to
the
new
generation ,few of
they
have been influenced by the old
doctrine of pre-world
war
,
they witness
the tragedy of war and the power of the nucleus.
Americans are
free
—
free to
express to create, and ideally, to solve problems,
and expect to make the
world
a
better
place.
They
rose
with
a
respect,
recognition
for
and
expectation
of
continued
freedom;
they
have
immense
freedom
and
their
ancient
people
fought
to
have
freedom.
Kennedy,
as
a
spirited
image,
he
called
on
people
to
pursue
freedom,
human
rights, etc. He took vigorous action in
the cause of equal rights calling for new civil
rights legislation. He wished America
to resume its old mission as the first dedicated
to the revolution of human rights. With
the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps,
he brought American idealism to the aid
of developing nations and leaded the nation
on its longest sustained expansion
since WWII.
