The 60s: The Years That Changed America

It was a time of turmoil. It was a time of change. A nation looked inward, reevaluating what it was and what it hoped to be. Half a century later, the cultural and social upheavals of the 1960s in the US and abroad inform nearly all aspects of our lives. For the first time, Carnegie Hall has looked to a figure outside the music world-Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Robert A. Caro, famed biographer of Robert Moses and Lyndon B. Johnson-for inspiration in creating a festival, turning our attention to this singular decade.

[@GenericUsername1388]

I love the late 50s and 60s. It's when the world began to go from black and white, full of opression and suffering, dull music and war to colour, energetic music, counterculture and change. It's when people started to experience with new styles of music, fashion, lifestyles and art. I wish I was alive then 😔

As a teenager in the 60's we hoped to change America, To make freedom and love more important than corporate greed. We wanted more than just a damn little house in the suburbs. Blacks youth wanted equality and were willing to make a stand. People did not want war to be the answer to anything. Here we are in 2022 with corporate greet, inequality, and still fighting useless wars. God, I miss the 60's.

[@Jaco059]

Honestly you guys helped them the path to hell is paved with good intentions ehh

[@NostalgiCrazy]

I feel your pain, but remember to also realize that each person who helped changed the country since then has made an impact. Yes, we may still be dominated by corporate and political greed, but these movements that started in the 60s have led to the country being united and lives being saved as well. The sad reality may be that there will never be true peace and equality, but that's not to say each generation will stop striving for something better.

This is what has been mentioned in this video in order to help you out: The 60s is a defining decade new music and poetry came out the country was trying to understand itself and create its identity. 1964 : Some act i couldn't hear the name. 1962: the feminine mystique (women movement) 1969: GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT (AT LEAST WHAT I HEARD) October, 1963: nightly tv news went from 15 to 30 mins to show the war and civil rights demonstration Cold war pressured America The contradiction between how America sold itself to the world versus how they treated its own minorities Music Relates to the protests Animated drive for social consciousness to young people Art was created through music, poetry, paintings, dancing and films 🎥 Social movements had been accompanied by an artistic man-guard. Explosion of desjdhdghd aart and culture scenes???? Jazz ,free jazz 1964: freedom summer: thousands of students ... Mississippi project to register black voters. 3 young men were killed but it didnt stop them (they went there and hold each other hands and start singing "we are not afraid" Pressure on the system pushed it in ways that it hadn't been first before the impact of Music on great movements in 1960s the 60s create new divisions between communities anything from the nature of government individual rights and liberties If you know any of the missing words or word i should correct please comment and i will modify the whole comment Thnk u

The British Blues movement and the British Invasion was a short-lived, but amazing time for music. In the 1960s, there was a lot of innovation in sound -- Folk, Blues, Jazz, Raga, Spanish, R&B, Pop, Classical, Surf -- it was all there and it was combined within a genre called "Psychedelic Music." After hearing The Beatles, there were a lot of kids who wanted to start a band.

We used to believe that we could use our affluence to make a better world. If you look at what has happened since we have gone in the opposite direction. I saw a poster from the Republicans in the 1950s and they were so far to the left then compared to anyone in politics today. I weep for our lost opportunities. Any teacher that tries to bring out this issue is accused of being communist or socialist as if somehow either of these is "anti American".

I wondering what we are missing today. Just, I don't get it. So much more technology than the 60', but so much less soul and brave to fight for our future and freedom. For our next generation, forgive us. We don't understand what's really going on. Too much oriented towards social media and sharing mentality. Inside of us we don't have the seeds of a revolution. Maybe our younger brothers and sisters. Those born in the 2000 or 10s.
