Description
This chapter explores the Counter Culture movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the growing unrest on college and university campuses across the nation. Students demanded independent rights and protested the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War, which led to violent clashes with authorities, most notably the shootings at Kent State University and Jackson State College in 1970. Politically- and socially-motivated student organizations grew in number, including the Students for a Democratic Society, Young Americans for Freedom, and the Black Student Union.
