Hendrix collided patriotism and liberation, he introduced electrical distortions that resembled war sounds in between the melody. His solo is reflection of what everyone was going through at the time from racial division to  war hysteria. Hendrix doesn't mean for this rendition to be unorthodox or offensive but beautiful . This Photo not only shows how culture was changing but how society was as well, people were becoming more vocal and pacifistic. ]]> 2018-05-15 12:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260821456 20190632 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260822866 2018-05-15 12:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260822866 Elizabeth Eckford of The Little Rock Nine 20190632 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260823304 This photo was taken by Will Counts a photographer for Arkansas Democrat.  Will Counts is best known for this photograph that is considered by some as the cover face for racism in the U.S.  This photo gives an overview to how people reacted to a black girl attending a white school. Elizabeth Eckford was part of the Little Rock Nine, the first black students to attend Little Rock Central High, a white school. This was a monumental moment in history for blacks and whites, many whites opposed the idea of integration, as seen in the photograph. This photograph is  powerful because it shows the raw emotion of hatred from Hazel  Bryan and it represented the majority of how white people felt about blacks and it shows how the US wasn't the all accepting nation that everyone thought it was. ]]> 2018-05-15 12:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260823304 Harlem Peace March 20190632 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260827947 American Photographer Builder Levy took this photo at the NYC 1967 Harlem Peace March. Builder Levy took many photos during the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam Protests that serve as documentation for the 60s. 
During this photo, the United States was fighting at Vietnam, focusing all its efforts to win the war. Meanwhile back in America, blacks were still unequal and segregation was still present. Also, many black men were being drafted to fight in Vietnam.  ]]> 2018-05-15 13:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/260827947 Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream" speech 20190236 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261177115 King was a civil rights activist that wanted equality for everyone in America. This photo was taken when King was having his “I have a dream speech” in Washington, DC. The speech was based around how, everyone should have equal rights, since segregation was still going on and discrimination against people of color. The racial tensions were high because there was not much change in law and enforcement of laws to protect people of color.
This photograph has an impact of how influential Dr. King was, in having over 250,000 people show up for the speech. This photograph is empowering and pushes for more change in equal rights. The photograph of King and the crowd of people around him show that people want change.

Oswald was taken into custody for initially shooting a police officer but it was later found he was guilty of assassinating Kennedy. A pivotal moment in history, not only the first catholic president but the youngest was killed before his first term ended. In the middle of a cold war and the civil rights movement the assassination shocked the whole world and left the American people devastated. This picture just is moving because it show's how one person, unknown practically invisible can change the lives of so many people, including himself becoming a martyr. ]]> 2018-05-16 12:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261185841 300,000 people crowd at Woodstock, 1969 20190313 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261542683 Taken by Baron Wolman, a photographer known for his work for the Rolling Stone magazine in the late sixties, this photograph captures the huge amount of people gathered for the Woodstock music and arts festival.

Many people started to protest the war and declared for peace. These protesters became known as hippies. In the photograph below, on the poster it says "Love not War". This slogan became very popular throughout the hippie movement. The protesters were mainly college students, students would march campuses. And several children were killed when the police tried to calm the protests. This also shows that the US was not completely on the same page as eventionally.]]> 2018-05-17 19:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261732022 Technology in the 60s 20190632 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261741763 During the 60s a lot of technological advances were made and new inventions were created, including television. This photograph is oh Theodore Maiman pouring nitrogen into what would become the first ever working laser. This laser would pave the path the creation of CDs and DVDs and sight restoration surgery. This photo signifies the amount of technological advances being made in the US during the 60s. It also shows that even though they were caught up in war with Vietnam, the US was able to still keep their technology updated and remain as one of the most technologically advanced nations. It is paved way for many other scientists and inventors to create newer and better technology.]]> 2018-05-17 20:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261741763 Nixon vs. Kennedy televised debate 20190313 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261769976 This photo is from the Nixon vs. Kennedy televised debate, when both men were running for president during the 1960 election. This was the first televised debate in American history with over 70 million television views, though many still listened on the radio. Listeners of the radio believed Nixon was the victor of the debate, but these people were only able to hear their voices. The television audience was able to see much more, such as Kennedy's preparedness and pleasant appearance, opposed to Nixon suffering through the flu. This is why the television audience thought Kennedy had the true victory. This debate had a major influence on the election's outcome as well as usher in a new era of how we use the media for political campaigns. ]]> 2018-05-18 00:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261769976 Signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 20186403 https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261779425 In this photograph President Johnson is signing the civil rights act of 1964 to end all discrimination because of race, sex and religion in the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr, John Lewis and other civil rights leaders watch as history is made with the signing of the act of 1964. All the civil right leaders that are there are happy to see all the protesting for changed happened since, people of the civil rights were risking their lives for the change. This photo was taken by Cecil Stoughton.
 This photo have an impact on the way we learn history can be changed for the better with doing peaceful protest. The photograph may be shocking for some people of the South in the direct change for people of color to have the right to vote and not have to go through an impossible process to vote. This photograph sets the cultural norms in having basic rights established. The photo represents the progression Dr. King and the 60s wanted to go towards.

In this scene of the movie the Younger family is thinking about what just happened. In the scene before this one, the family was visited by a man trying to pay the family off from moving into an all white neighborhood. The family does not like that the neighborhood would send someone to do that. This photo shows how sadden and upset they are, and this happened in the 60s when people of color tried to move into all white neighborhoods. The family want to live in a better house and neighborhood without all the fuss. This photo does not seem shocking of the 60s. This follows the popular option of how people feel about change, in the neighborhood wants to pay the Younger family not to move in. This photograph in forces cultural norms of how sociality was stuck and did not want to progress.]]> 2018-05-18 02:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/20190313/4g9zs4xxeiuq/wish/261794629
