The document summarizes how music from the Vietnam War era encouraged peaceful protests against the war and influenced fashion trends. Songs from artists like The Beatles and John Lennon conveyed anti-war messages and named protest leaders. While some advocated violent action, most protests remained peaceful. Tragically, four students were shot and killed by National Guardsmen at a 1970 protest at Kent State University. The hippie fashion embraced by young people, like bell bottoms and flowers in long hair, showed a desire for peace and rebellion against conservative norms of the 1950s. In the end, the musicians' promotion of peaceful protest through music and fashion is said to have impacted public opinion and the end of the war in 1975.
