Social Movements of the 1960s The 1960s is often described as a decade that shaped a generation and redefined our nation. Characterized by a variety of social movements, independent thinkers shook American society by challenging mainstream values and systems of belief. The fabric of our culture would never be the same.

 * 6) Environmentalism (p. 808-813)
 * 7) Gay Liberation (p. 833)
 * 8) Hippie/Counter-Culture (p. 774-776)

** OTHER TIPS **
 * Use Microsoft Word to write; then copy and paste into the wiki. Too many people editing at the same time causes problems.
