The Fabulous 60's

De: Nina Joan Mattikow

It began with the youngest president in history taking office and ended with Richard Nixon. The first troops went to Vietnam. Bob Dylan sang "Blowin' in the Wind". Star Trek debuted on TV. On November 22, 1963, the assassination of JFK shocked the nation, and was later followed by the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Motown gave us the Supremes and Stevie Wonder, and Beatlemania hit the U.S. Hair was on Broadway and The Graduate was on the screen. The Ford Mustang arrived, along with troll dolls and skateboards. We thrilled to Roger Maris and Joe Namath.

Here are the actual voices and events of a tumultous decade.
