The 1960's was a time where ordinary people were switching form ordinary to more laid back individuals the 60's was a period of change where new reforms were being applied to the government and people and some did not like it but the president was sure appealing to many people. Kennedy really seemed to fulfill the needs of American politics., kennedy was also young therefore he was appealing to many young ones. He represented the new and glittering age.
Being a time of civil rights movement, there was a lot of discrimination against minorities such as blacks. Before the civil rights act was implemented, people were not allowed to sell anything to the backs and many were also denied the right to vote. The discrimination and lack of compassion sparked a civil right movement that later led to the signing of the civil rights movement. The black panther party which wanted to equalize the racist police force. This party would walk with rifles and observe the police to make sure they used the right authority on everyone without taking their race into consideration.
Overall the 60's was a time of reform and new laws that benefitted everyone and made everyone free and equal. Although today some do not respect the civil rights act, it is implemented and black americans and even whites make sure it is followed.
