The 1960s a decade of change:
The 1960s is famous for the explosion of creativity that occurred. Perhaps due to a little too much experimentation with drugs or anger over the Vietnam War! Sex, love and rock & roll was the way of the sixties as people found ways to cope with the changes.
It was the decade of anger with the assassinations of JFK and MLK shocking the world. Protesters were everywhere — there was great social unrest.
It was the decade that man first walked on the moon. Woodstock rocked with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and The Who! And, Sesame Street first aired on TV.
