“People should not lose sight of all that the student movements of the 60’s accomplished. They were instrumental in tearing down Jim Crow Racial segregation. They limited America’s ability to pursue a blatantly imperialistic foreign policy that led to Vietnam. They helped to usher in the Women’s Liberation movement. American society was profoundly changed by the student protest movements of the 1960’s.”
Do you agree or disagree with this interpretation of Berkeley in the 1960’s? Please discuss the nature of the various student movements of the 60’s. You should discuss the student radicals as well as the counter-culture. What, if any, were the lasting contributions of the Baby Boom generation in college?
