Responding to the PowerPoint on
Protest/Activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s
During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States of America was facing serious problems related to gender. Civilization in females had increased at a commendable rate, and some of the learned females led the other women in fighting for their rights. This led to the formation of the feminist group with the plan of fighting against the social injustices exercised to the women. It is believed that it was during this time when most of the gender issues were defined in the country and which led to the increase of the women leaders, and education to the female gender.
From the PowerPoint presentations, I have learned many things concerning the feminist groups in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. The feminist groups seemed to have organized fully before they started the protesting. Many protests were being carried out by college students. The study also shows that the Rights Revolutions, in most cases, were being carried out by the young people. I also learned that the anti-Vietnam War movement was carried out by the group of the students, religious leaders, advocates from the civil service, and sometimes the politicians. For instance, in 1965, there was a group of the faculty students in the University of Michigan who were organized to “teach-in” on the War to fight against the social injustices which were taking place within the country. Later in 1965, more than 120 colleges and the Universities had already started teach-ins in their schools as a way of informing people, especially women of equality. From the PowerPoint presentations, it can, therefore, be concluded that the Unity of activists was the secret of addressing the social issues within the country.
