In the 1960s, the world was almost a sea of ​​movements, and the movements in the United States were not only as diverse as a kaleidoscope of names, but their ideas could be called the originators of almost all social movements since then. The social movement described in "America in the 1960s" began with the sit-in demonstrations in Greensboro and ended with the uprising of some Native Americans in Wounded Knee Valley in 1973 and the return of U. S. Troops from Vietnam. Among them were the "Freedom Rides", the Port Huron rally, the "Mississippi Summer", the Berkeley student movement, the Selma March, the anti-Vietnam War, the "Summer of Love", black power, the Chicago Convention, hippies, brown power, women's liberation... Why do millions of Americans join social movements and why do they take to the streets? This is the question that "America in the 1960s" will explore.
