"Light My Fire" Sometimes the flow of events is apparent. The focus of public debate is centered and historians thereafter apply labels that define those eras. Not so with the decade of the 1960s (which of course did not begin immediately upon the stroke of 12:00 A.M., January 1, 1960) Here, the current is uneven, numerous eddies are seen, a riverian tide appears at moments to be at work. At other times the force of the flow appears to have created new channels. And later the channels appear to have eroded and filled in with the silt from the shore line. We do recognize that no other decade since the Great Depression of the 1930s served to make so many indelible impressions upon the public mind or to shape and alter attitudes and assumptions about our most basic social institutions as did the '60s. In the minds of those who lived through that raucous era, some names and events remain fixed in memory, although for a later geneation they must be studied. Test your memory with these: Altamont,.... Tet Offensive,... My Lai,... Hanoi Jane Kent State Massacre, Jimi Hendrix, Abbie Hoffman Lunch Counter Sit-ins,....The K.K.K. Freedom Summer Haight Ashbury, Creedence Clearwater Revival,... LBJ - All The Way THE SUMMER OF LOVE Give Peace A Chance BLACK POWER........The Long, Hot Summer So, whether you are here to recall those events or to research them, begin your sojourn into that decade by clicking on a link to your left.
