A
web guided tour for
The
60’s
The 1960’s to most of you seems like something way in
the past. To many others, myself included, it seems like only yesterday. I’m
sure that your parents or grandparents have mentioned many different things that
happened in the ‘60’s. But,
what did happen in the 1960’s that impacted the decades to come and your
generation? Some subjects we will look at will include: Changes In Society, Vietnam, Politics, Rock and Roll and
Revolution, and Individual Achievements.
