Arlo Guthrie, Alice Brock (Alice's Restaurant), Dick Goodwin, Howard Zinn, Dan Wakefield, Dorothy Cotton, and Avi Nelson discuss the turbulent 60's.
The sixties decade has been described by historians as the decade that resulted in the most significant changes in our history. In 1969 the race to space was won by the U.S. by putting a man on the moon. This one event caught more press and attention second to only the Vietnam War.
The 1960s were a time of turmoil, described that way for the racial unrest, social injustice and because of our involvement in the war in Vietnam. The magnitude of violence in the streets of U.S. cities, as well as on college campuses, was unprecedented in our history. The burning of the flag and draft cards were widely used as tools for protest.
