Review Harrington’s arguments about the causes of poverty and his call for solutions. Choose one of his specific concerns (housing, race, health care, the elderly, etc.) related to your chosen topic. Engage the following questions using Harrington and the Port Huron Statement.

How does Harrington challenge Americans to consider your chosen aspect of poverty? In what ways are his descriptions of the problem supported or challenged in the documents you have read? In what ways do the authors of the Port Huron Statement expand upon Harrington’s arguments? What do they add to the debate? What are the solutions that Harrington and others offer to the problem? How well are they addressed in the legislation of the Great Society? What are the challenges that remain in their eyes? Finally, how well do you think your specific issue was tackled and how would the response have satisfied Harrington would be with the response? GIVE ME
LIBERTY!

W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder
Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult
education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond
the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury,
the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts—were firmly
established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees,
and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional
titles published each year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing
house owned wholly by its employees.
