This is a time of great change where we moved away from the Ozzie and Harriet perception and into a more untraditional daily life, think hippies and disco balls. The women's, hispanic, civil rights, and counterculture movements led to vast progressive change. Famous leaders were assassinated, such as John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr, and Malcolm X.
