The Generation That Changed America | Part 2: The Baby Boomers Come of Age (1960–1980)

The Baby Boomers were born into postwar America, but between 1960 and 1980, they would grow up to witness — and help shape — some of the biggest changes in American history. In **Part 2 of The Generation That Changed America**, Professor Blackwood explores what it meant to come of age during the 1960s and 1970s. From the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War to Woodstock, rock and roll, changing family values, and the fading promises of the American Dream, this was a generation growing up in a country that was transforming before their eyes. The children of the 1950s became the teenagers, young adults, workers, and parents of a very different America. **In this documentary, we explore:** - Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s - The Vietnam War and the generation divide - Civil rights, protests, and social change - Woodstock, music, and youth culture - Changing family values and the American Dream - How these decades shaped Baby Boomer psychology **Were you a teenager or young adult during the 1960s or 1970s?** What do you remember most about those years?
