2. Of all the responses to this post, that was not on my list.

I don't think the OP was making the claim that there has been no progress on anything since 1963. However by the Carter administration the New Deal era of reform was over, and with the start of the Reagan administration the rollback had begun.

The efforts to integrate society have largely been abandoned and instead our school systems are segregated and unequal again, with good public schools in the affluent and overwhelmingly white suburbs and horrible public schools in the poor and overwhelmingly non-white urban areas. The wonderful war on drugs and hard ass draconian criminal justice system have created an entire prison society within our nation, and again that system inflicts its life-wrecking "justice" disproportionately on people of color. Our militarized police - a feature of society unthinkable in 1963 - kill citizens with abandon and again that terror falls disproportionately on people of color.

This decline may not have started at precisely November 22, 1963 but perhaps it is marked by the day of a different assassination April 4, 1968, and the follow on targeted killing on June 6 of the same year.
