Cultural changes in the 1960s had a big impact on American kids and how they thought about the world.
Music and Art: Rock 'n' roll music became really popular, and artists like Bob Dylan sang about standing up for what was right. Their songs inspired many young people to speak out against things they didn’t agree with.
Civil Rights Movement: Young people joined in on protests to support equal rights for everyone. One group that really stood out was the Freedom Riders, who traveled to fight for justice.
Counterculture: A new group called the hippies appeared, and they talked a lot about peace and love. They were against the war and wanted to change the way things were done in society.
In general, these changes helped young people think for themselves and try new ways of living.
