The 1960s was a turbulent decade in America marked by civil rights struggles, opposition to the Vietnam War, and the rise of a counterculture movement. Literature, music, and art reflected and helped shaped this period of social and political change. Pop artists like Andy Warhol appropriated images of consumer culture to challenge conventions of fine art. Events like the Kent State massacre and the Civil Rights movement further fueled anti-war and anti-establishment sentiments that permeated 1960s culture.
The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docx
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.

The 1950s
The 1950s saw tremendous economic growth and suburban expansion that led many to view it as a period of "Conservatism, Complacency, and Contentment." However, others argue it was also a time of "Anxiety, Alienation, and Unrest" as populations shifted, new social pressures emerged, and tensions grew beneath the surface. The decade laid the groundwork for the social and political upheaval of the 1960s by sowing the seeds of dissent among a new generation coming of age in this complex period.

The 1960s was a turbulent decade in America marked by civil rights struggles, opposition to the Vietnam War, and the rise of a counterculture movement. Literature, music, and art reflected and helped shaped this period of social and political change. Pop artists like Andy Warhol appropriated images of consumer culture to challenge conventions of fine art. Events like the Kent State massacre and the Civil Rights movement further fueled anti-war and anti-establishment sentiments that permeated 1960s culture.
The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docx
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.

The 1950s
The 1950s saw tremendous economic growth and suburban expansion that led many to view it as a period of "Conservatism, Complacency, and Contentment." However, others argue it was also a time of "Anxiety, Alienation, and Unrest" as populations shifted, new social pressures emerged, and tensions grew beneath the surface. The decade laid the groundwork for the social and political upheaval of the 1960s by sowing the seeds of dissent among a new generation coming of age in this complex period.

1960s britain
The 1960s in Britain saw the rise of youth culture movements like mods, rockers, and flower power alongside music acts like the Beatles. While the media portrayed an affluent society, poverty still existed and wages remained low for many. The decade saw liberal social changes like the legalization of abortion and homosexuality, reflecting relaxed social attitudes. However, the swinging London lifestyle was not a reality for most Britons. The Beatles popularity peaked in the mid-1960s before social tensions and economic troubles emerged in the late 1960s signalling an end to the era.
Pressure
Racial tensions erupted across British cities in the 1970s and 1980s, exacerbating tensions between first and second generation immigrants. Pressure and Burning an Illusion were made in this context to re-evaluate what it meant to be black in Britain from a militant perspective, as previous films took a more liberal, mainstream view of racial issues. Both films focus on the political awakening of young black British men and women experiencing issues like police harassment and limited opportunities, commenting on the changing social and cultural climate for black youth in 1970s Britain.

Native American Portrayals in Art
This exhibit aims to educate viewers about depictions of Native Americans throughout American history. Early European artists like John White portrayed Native Americans realistically, but Theodore deBry altered White's drawings to appear more European and savage for European audiences. In the 18th-19th centuries, depictions became more negative, often showing Native women held hostage. Later artists like George Catlin documented Plains tribes but believed extinction was near. Popular culture in the 20th century marginalized Native Americans further. Today, sports mascots still use Native American imagery, despite criticism that it promotes inequality.

Michael Gow’s AWAY contextual background
The document provides background information on several topics relevant to Michael Gow's play "Away":
The Great Depression had a devastating impact on Australian society in the 1920s-1930s, leaving many without work or homes. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was a controversial psychiatric treatment in the 1960s due to its negative portrayal in media. The Vietnam War was the first shown on television, diminishing public support as viewers saw the harsh conditions. Post-World War II, Australia implemented a large-scale migration program that brought over 7 million new settlers between 1945-2009, increasing the workforce during this period of national development. All of these historical contexts and societal issues are explored in Gow's play.
