7. Welcome to the music section In this section you will analyze 60’s music and see how it was representative of the times.

8. Buffalo Springfield Buffalo Springfield was an American rock band active between 1966 and 1968. The members included Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Dewey Martin, Bruce Palmer, and Jim Messina. The band was known for singing politically charged songs.

9. For what it’s worth By: Buffalo Springfield For what it’s worth By: Buffalo Springfield There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down

10. Analysis Analysis This song demonstrates some of the events occurring in the 60’s. Notice the lines “A thousand people in the street, singing songs and carrying signs.” This line demonstrates how there were many protests in the 60’s because of historic events such as the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.

11. Analysis Analysis The lines “you step out of line, the man come and take you away” demonstrates both how one might step out of a picket line to fight an officer and how ones behavior might metaphorically step out of line. Some even interpret this line as one being taken away to war. “The man” would represent the government and stepping out of line could represent steeping out of a line to burn a draft ticket, thus being forced into the war in Vietnam.

12. Creedence Clearwater Revival CCR was active between 1967 and 1972. Their style has been described as country rock or blues rock. The members include John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. Their songs often refer to the Vietnam War and other wartime events.

13. Fortunate Son By: Creedence Clearwater Revival Fortunate Son By: Creedence Clearwater Revival Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail to the chief", Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no, Yeah! Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don't they help themselves, oh. But when the taxman comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no. Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord, And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one. It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

14. Analysis This song portrays how the government often asks too much of its citizens. Notice the lines, “Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, oh they send you down to war lord, and when you ask them how much should we give? Oh they only answer, more! More! More!

15. Analysis Notice the lines, “it aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son.” These lines show how most of the soldiers in the Vietnam War were drafted and were not wanting to go to war. On a related note, studies have shown that the average American soldier in the Vietnam War was only 19, with the average officer being only 22.

16. The Beatles The Beatles were an English rock band active from 1960 to 1970. Their members include John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. They are considered to be the best selling band in history.

17. Strawberry Fields Forever By: The Beatles No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right. That is I think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. Always know sometimes think it's me, but you know I know and it's a dream. I think I know of thee, ah yes, but it's all wrong. That is I think I disagree. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever.

18. Analysis The lines, “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see,” portrays how there were many viewpoints about everything in the 60’s and bands used to feel strongly about them.

19. Analysis The lines, “Let me take you down, ‘Cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields, nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about,” could refer to a fictional land made up by The Beatles. It shows that the times were hard and people often needed an escape.

20. Welcome to the important people section of the presentation! In this section you will learn about notable people during this revolutionary era.

21. Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. or MLK, was a arguably the most popular Civil Rights Activist of the time.

22. MLK was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known for using non- violent protests to spread the Civil Rights message. He is also famous for his “I Have a Dream” speech which he delivered in 1963. King was assassinated on April 4 th, 1968, he was only 39 years old.

23. Richard Nixon The 37 th president of the United States. He was in office from 1969 to 1974.

24. Richard Nixon was born January 9 th, 1913 and died on April 22 nd, 1994. He was the only president to resign in office. This occurred because of the infamous Watergate scandal. This was a break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington D.C. The Nixon Administration attempted to cover up the investigation.

25. Lyndon B. Johnson LBJ was the 36 th president of the United States.

26. LBJ was born on August 27 th, 1908 and died on January 22 nd 1973. He was president from 1963 to 1969. He is known for greatly escalating the Vietnam War. He was a Democrat and despite his failures in international affairs, many historians praise him for his domestic policies. LBJ was sworn into office on Air Force 1 after John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead

27. John F. Kennedy JFK was the 35 th president of the United States.

28. JFK was born on May 29 th, 1917 and died on November 22 nd, 1963. He was a military commander in WWII, serving on PT boats in the South Pacific. He is remembered for his efforts in the Space Race, the Cuban Missile Crisis, The Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War. This being said, the events listed above are most likely overshadowed by his assassination in 1963.

29. Welcome to the Historical Events Section! This section includes historical events that occurred in the 1960’s.

30. The Cold War The Cold War The Cold War was more of an arms race and a series of proxy wars than an actual war. It was called the Cold War because the United States and the Soviet Union never actually engaged in a full fledged battle. The Cold War took place in the form of many events including the Space Race, the Arms Race, the Cuban Missile Crisis and more. This picture to the right shows how John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev fought for international power. They both appear to be close to “pushing the red button” and causing a nuclear war.

31. The Cold War During the Cold War, most of the world was split into 2 sides; free market countries that followed the U.S. and socialist countries that followed the U.S.S.R. Below is a map showing which countries were on which side. Notice how there is a distinctive line in Europe, right through Germany. This was where the Berlin Wall separated socialist East Germany from democratic West Germany. Many scholars thought that if WWIII was to take place, this would be the front line.

32. This picture displays Americans protesting with signs reading “better dead than red.” By this they are saying that they would rather be dead than be “red” or part of the Soviet Union and the Red Army.

33. Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis was a crisis that occurred in August of 1962 when the U.S. discovered that the Soviet Union started to move medium range ballistic missiles into Cuba. This obviously came as an immediate threat to the United States. The picture to the right displays a photograph taken from a U.S. U-2 spy plane. The photograph is of a missile instillation in Cuba.

34. Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis finally came to an end when President Kennedy decided to remove missile instillations in Turkey and Italy if the Soviet Union removed their facilities in Cuba. The picture to the left shows a US Jupiter missile…the same type of missile removed from Turkey and Italy according to the peace agreement.

35. Space Race The space race was a technological race between the Soviet Union and the United States. While the Soviet Union sent the first satellite into space, the Sputnik, the United States put the first man on the moon with Neil Armstrong, a Purdue University graduate.

36. Civil Rights Movement The Civil Rights Movement was a movement of nation wide protests that were in favor of equal rights between African Americans and Whites. They aimed at abolishing the Jim Crow laws which were set in place to give African Americans a “separate but equal” opportunity in the US. These laws were not equal at all and they promoted segregation.

37. The Civil Rights Movement protests were often huge and contained thousands of people, they even tended to turn violent. Here is a slide show of some images captured from Civil Rights protests.

38. Freedom Rides The Freedom Rides took place throughout the 60’s. A Freedom Ride was when a group of both African Americans and Whites would ride a bus together through primarily Southern states. They were often attacked by protesters who did not want equal rights for transportation.

39. JFK Assassination The JFK Assassination was one of the most memorable events that occurred in the 60’s. The entire nation was eager to find the killer of their president but even today it fascinates skeptics.

40. JFK Assassination Skeptics believe that the Kennedy assassination was a cover-up because only 1 shooter was said to of killed JFK while there were bullet holes from 2 directions. Right before the shot was heard it the Secret Service member guarding JFK was mysteriously called back. CIA files about the protection plan during that parade were immediately destroyed as well. LBJ was sworn in on Air Force One after JFK was pronounced dead.

41. The Vietnam War The Vietnam War spanned from 1955 to 1975. It was fought primarily between the US and South Vietnam against North Vietnam and China. The US felt that if they did not stop communism here it would surely spread throughout the world, this philosophy is known as the “Domino Effect.”

42. The Vietnam War The Vietnam War was widely protested against in the US, causing a withdrawal of US troops before North Vietnam could be captured and changed into a Democracy. Since there was a draft, many men who were drafted would protest by burning their draft cards and refusing to fight in the war.
