An award-winning historian reexamines the transformative year in the sixties that continues to reverberate in our lives and politics.
If 1968 marked a turning point in a pivotal decade, 1964--or rather, the long 1964, from JFK's assassination in November 1963 to mid-1965--was the time when the sixties truly arrived. It was then that the United States began a radical shift toward a much more inclusive definition of "American," with a greater degree of equality and a government actively involved in social and economic improvement--a radical shift accompanied by a cultural revolution.
