 1960’s Project-A Study of Our Rights

“We were here to make a better world. The lesson of the 60’s is that people who cared enough to do what is **right** could change history. * We didn’t end racism but we ended legal segregation. (Civil Rights Movement)
 * In their own words…


 * We ended the idea t hat the government could send half-a-million soldiers around the world to fight a war that “the people” did not support. (Anti War Movement)

>
 * We ended the idea that women are second class citizens. (Women's Rights Movement)
 * We rocked this country with music that changed the world. (1960s Musicians)

> The big battles that we won cannot be reversed. We were young, self-righteous, reckless, hypocritical, brave, silly, headstrong and scared half to death. AND WE WERE RIGHT!”
 * We brought the guarantees of the Bill of Rights to life! (All Movements)
