Students in the '60s were responsible for great changes, politically and socially.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The 1960s were really a life-changing time.
In college I studied '60s and '70s radicalism, student activism, forms of political violence, groups like the Weathermen, the Black Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the New Left.
The '60s were a time of great change in American music.
The Sixties was a time of breaking down class barriers, although I think class still exists today in some areas.
I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
The '60s were an amazing time.
There is certainly greatness in the '60s generation. They changed our attitudes about race in America, which was long overdue. They didn't just stand up and salute when told to go to war. Women finally began to realize a more equal place in our society.
I was born in the 1980s, so learning about the late 1960s was really fascinating, not only just because of the way things looked and sounded but because of what was going on in society at that time.
But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
I always knew the Sixties wasn't a revolution. It really was just a bunch of university students with wealthy parents having fun.
