Chapter 28 Rebellion And Reaction The 1960S And 1970S

The 1960s and 1970s were a time of great social change and upheaval. The civil rights movement, led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., sought to end racial segregation and discrimination. The anti-war movement, sparked by the Vietnam War, protested the involvement of the United States in the conflict. Meanwhile, the women's liberation movement fought for gender equality. These movements, among others, led to significant changes in American society.

The era was marked by a clash of cultures, as traditional values were challenged by the counterculture. The rise of rock 'n' roll and folk music reflected the changing values and ideals of the youth. The decade was marked by violent clashes, such as the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and tragedies, including the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Despite the turmoil, the era saw significant progress in the areas of civil rights, women's rights, and environmental protection.
