Special Collections and University Archives: Reform and Countercultural Movements

This online exhibition celebrates the life and achievements of Clifford Philip Case II (1904-1982), who represented New Jersey in the U.S. Congress for over 30 years. A moderate Republican, he was known for his bipartisanship, support of civil rights, and crafting of legislation on ethics in government. This website serves as a companion to the permanent exhibition on the senator’s life and work that was installed in the Clifford P. Case Seminar Room in October 2006. 

The Crossroads digital exhibition showcases Senator Harrison A. Williams Jr.'s efforts toward advancing legislation that reflected the liberal ideology of the Great Society values espoused by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Themes highlighted in the exhibition are Williams´s work for migratory labor, social justice, education, labor, community action, health, the elderly, business regulation, metropolitan affairs, and the arts. The digital exhibition features images of photographs and documents, along with audiovisual materials documenting the legislation Williams worked on. This digital exhibition is a version of the physical exhibition Crossroads: Harrison Williams and Great Society Liberalism, 1959–1981, which was on display in the Special Collections and University Archives Gallery and Gallery ´50 in Spring 2009.
