The 1960s changed the future of America because the counter cultural movement
of its youth showed that one can use their voice to fight for change.
It was a time of protests to encourage social reform.
World-changing events that occurred in the 1960s included Richard Nixon’s presidency
and the Watergate scandal, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War, and the
assassinations of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and Bobby Kennedy.
The 1960s was a time of sweeping movements to demand justice. Protesters demanded
women’s rights, racial equality, and world peace. Counterculture movements refer to a
time when young people rejected their parent’s values and traditions and fought for their agenda.
