"The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them."

| |  | | | In Brief
Demonstrates how the profound changes in American society during the 1960s manifested in--and were ushered by--popular culture.
| | | | From The Publisher
As the 1960s decade began, Americans were still in the midst of postwar complacency, largely unaware of the changes their country would endure before the end of the decade. In a few short years, though, the nation's innocence was shattered with the assassination of its promising young president, a growing racial divide, and escalating military action in Southeast Asia. A new youth culture emerged, with more and more teenagers rebelling against the conventions of the previous generation. This was no longer their parents America--sexuality, fashion, communal living, draft dodging, drug use, and sit-ins all became elements in the increasing Generation Gap. Iconoclastic figures such as Muhammad Ali, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Namath, Ralph Nader, and Andy Warhol brought color and controversy to this tumultuous decade, while cultural events such as The Stonewall March, The Graduate, and the Monterey Pop Festival provided indelible images of a bellwether time in American society. Whether it was Beatlemania, bell-bottoms, or bumper stickers, the cultural contributions of the 1960s showed that the times were indeed a-changin.
