The 1960s were a passionate time in America. Even with the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, the Civil Rights movement grew. The Cuban missile crisis sent school children kneeling under their school desks with the threat of nuclear attack during the Cold War. There was a shared sense of wonder from seeing man set foot on the moon but a shared horror from the global conflicts on the rise. A surging tide of young people said that they wouldn't settle for the same old scene and the ensuing Vietnam Anti-War movement and the rise of the hippie subculture shaped the face of the nation.
