The 1960s in the United States showed a new look on politics, violence, and certainly race. Many issues came to light and were protested both violently, and peacefully; and both quietly, and nationally. The Civil Rights Movement in the 40s started a series of protests that led to the hundreds of thousands of people across the country fighting against the Vietnam War. Though I do not fully agree with these methods of being heard by the government, and certainly not the violent protests, I do think that they made everyone realize what was happening. In the case of women's equality, although people have been fighting for over a hundred years, Women's Marches were held throughout the country at the beginning of 2016 in light of the recent election. In the case of the Civil Rights Movement, they received equality and abolished segregation in the United States. Unfortunately, people are still fighting for their rights around the world, and right here in Canada.

The most protested war in US history was without a doubt the Vietnam War. Throughout the course of 20 years, almost 60,000 US soldiers died, 250,000 Vietnamese soldiers also died, 300,000 Cambodian soldiers lost their lives, and 50,000 Laotian soldiers perished. 60 years later, 1,500 US soldiers are still MIA - presumed dead, but no family to identify them.

The second image showcases the recent "Trump Riots". Just after the 2016 American Election, protests overwhelmed many cities across the United States, and as history has proven itself, UC Berkeley is a popular university for protesters.
