Allard K. Lowenstein

thumb|The only police state that I've ever seen function with such efficiency that in this country there was no way of even getting to notice it. Allard Kenneth Lowenstein (January 16, 1929 – March 14, 1980) was an American Democratic politician, including a U.S. Representative of the 5th Congressional District in Nassau County, New York, for one term from 1969 to 1971. Quotes When I first arrived in Jackson, which was July 4, 1963, there was a court order to integrate the parks in Jackson. But we couldn't even get two car loads to do that. It was, in a sense, a terrible defeat. The police arrested everybody when they did anything. You couldn't picket. The enemy was the police. It was a police state, that's all. The only police state that I've ever seen function with such efficiency that in this country there was no way of even getting to notice it. as interviewed by Anne Romaine in Charlottesville, Virginia, March 4, 1967 External links Category:1929 births Category:1980 deaths Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives Category:Democratic Party (United States) politicians Category:Academics from the United States Category:Civil rights activists Category:Anti-war activists Category:Activists from the United States Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States Category:Murdered people Category:Jews from the United States Category:Yale University alumni Category:People from Newark Category:People from New York (state)
