Description: The decade of the 1960's is like few others in the history of the 
             United
             States! The struggle for civil rights, the trauma of the Vietnam 
             War, the
             evolution of the free speech movement and the rejection of 
             authority by
             several segments of society (especially persons of college age) all
             lead to
             a fascinating, troubling and defining period in our political and 
             social
             history. This class will explore all of these issues. We will watch
             videos,
             listen to music of the times, and read from several sources---all 
             with the
             goal to understand what it can mean when someone says, "Wow, to 
             live in the
             60's---that was the best and worst of times." No prerequisites, 
             other than a
             desire to learn!
