Important Events of the 1960s

1950s through the1960s-- The
Civil Rights Movement
occurred. People across the
country took part in protests,
demonstrations, speeches,
and other activities to help
African Americans and other
American citizens receive
equal rights. The right to vote,
the right to go to the same
schools, and the right to equal
treatment in the workplace
were just a few things people
fought for.

1959 to 1975--The Vietnam war
occurred between North and
South Vietnam. The United
States got involved in an effort
to stop communism (a type of
government different from our
own) from spreading. Many
U.S. citizens were opposed to
the war since it was originally
between two other countries
who were fighting each other
and not the U.S.

1960s--Segregation--the
separation of African
Americans and white people in
society-- was occurring just
about everywhere. Among
other things, African Americans
were forced to go to different
schools, drink from different
drinking fountains, and even sit
in the back of public busses!

1960s-- The American
counterculture of the 1960s
occurred. This means that
young people were “acting out”
against the strict rules and
norms of the 1950s. Many
began to wear less traditional
clothing, grow their hair out,
wear beads, necklaces, and
slogan buttons, and protest
against the government. This
is where “hippies” came from!

1962-- The Cuban Missile Crisis
occurred between the U.S.,
Cuba, and the U.S.S.R. (now
Russia). The United States
discovered that Soviet and
Cuban nuclear missiles were
being built in Cuba--which is
very close to U.S soil. The
U.S. tried to put an end to this,
but tensions rose between the
countries. Many people
thought a nuclear war was
going to break out, and the
entire world was afraid.

1963--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
delivered his famous “I have
a dream” speech. Dr. King
was a civil right’s activist
who worked hard to fight for
equal rights among all
Americans. Tragically, he
was later assassinated by a
gunman.
Important Events of the 1960s
1963-- President John F. Kennedy
was assassinated. The event
disturbed the American people
greatly.

later while running for office.

Mid 1960s-- More and more
people in the United States
began to protest the Vietnam
War, especially after our
government started a draft.
This means that young men
were forced to fight in the war
even when they didn’t want to,
and even if they were not in
the armed forces. Eventually,
58,159 U.S. soldiers died in
this war.

1969-- The 3-day long Woodstock
Music and Art Festival took
place on a farm in New York.
Thirty-two acts (mainly rock
bands) played in front of a
crowd of over 400,000 people.
Many young people lived on
the farm’s fields for three days
as the concert went on. It is
considered one of the greatest
moments of music history and
often reminds people of
hippies and Vietnam protests.

1969--Mankind stepped onto
the moon for the first time.
When this occurred, the U.S.
had been in a space race
with the U.S.S.R (now
Russia)--a country we were
not friendly with at the time.
This single mission put
America ahead of the world
in space exploration, and it
eased fears that that we
could protect ourselves
against Russia if needed.
