coolidge. now, mr. coolidge was also a very progressive president on race. most analysts give him rather low grades. in many way, he was the ronald reagan of the '20s. he cut taxes four times and, you know, before we had the crash, we had the roar, right? we had the roaring '20s. and because of those tax cuts, money found its way into new industries; aviation, automobiles, radio, other forms of communication. the automobile became very common place. this was the time when henry ford decided as long as it's black, we can mass produce. and the average man and woman -- the average working man could afford a car at this point. a good job, not a millionaire, but it was the coming middle class. radio. radio becomes a universal figure, a universal item by the end of the coolidge period. aviation, i mean, the great secretary of commerce in those days, herbert hoover, was the great secretary of commerce because it was his job to hire the first air traffic controllers, to site the airports, to come up with federal policy. well, you had to have a stimulating economy to

in 1924, things had gone so far that the attorney general under calvin coolidge, arlen physic stone decided that it was time to rein in the bureau of investigation. and he issued new guidelines for reorganization and reprioritization of the bureau. basically, he said this agency has been functioning as a secret police force. it has got to stop and it will act like its charter says. fighting crime. there will be no more investigating of civilians on the basis of their ideas and beliefs, only on the basis of their actions and then only as those actions may be in violation of the law. for the next 12 years or so, the bureau basically abided by those rules. at the same time as those rules were issued, unfortunately, j. edgar hoover was made the director of the bureau. we'll follow his career as we go on. during the depression, the spotlight shifted to mexican-americans and mexican nationals. it started in texas. and it swept through the southwest and got taken up in los angeles. between half a million and a million next conditions and mexican-americans were either deported or, quote, voluntaril
