US History: the Swinging 60s

Now I'm playing catch up!  We actually finished the 60s a while ago.

Let's see: the Space Race, Civil Rights, Women's Lib, computers, Bay of Pigs, Vietnam War, anti-war protests, the Kennedy Assassination, the moon landing, the first video game, social revolution, the Cold War.

Did I miss anything?




Oh, yes!  Star Trek!

And the hippies and the rise of "free love" and the drug culture. And LOTS of music!!

We listened to everything from the Grateful Dead to the Kinks, but, believe it or not, the kids favorite was the Beach Boys!
