Evidence
What was to be done? Society must be changed, according to the Berkeley group (which wanted to commit the task to the community of sociologists, with psychologists having a say so that it could be ensured that the social reforms considered would really have an effect on the structure of prejudiced personalities). — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 447
