The 1960s was a time of public questioning and revolt. No longer did citizens simply accept what officials said. People were tired of war, and questioned why we fight. "PEACE" and the "peace symbol" symbolize the decade. Americans also wanted to be recognized as unique individuals; we all did not fit into categories other people determined for us. Women's Lib and feminism were beginning and quickly grew. Many people only hear about Hippies and drug use, but there was a lot of social unrest and push for society to change.

This is a stupid question. There were so many special events during the 1960's. One example is man landing on the moon.
