Summary

As America fought the war in Vietnam, other conflicts were brewing at home. African Americans and other minorities demanded civil rights, women demanded equal pay and young people demanded the right to demonstrate on college campuses. The 1960s represented an era of change as new frontiers in space were conquered while on the ground, free love, rock n roll and drug abuse dominated American culture
