This assignment asks you to think about one social/cultural movement during the 1960s. For your paper, imagine you are participating in one of the following: Civil Rights Movement, student movement, feminism/women’s rights, gay liberation, the counterculture, or the anti-war movement. Using your notes from class and/or the textbook, discuss your involvement in the movement. What motivated you to join? What tactics are you using to bring about change? What are you hopes for the future? How do you experience the movement? What is the outcome? Be sure to include specific details and maintain historical accuracy. This is a creative assignment in which you imagine that you are living at this time. Use the first person (“I”) when writing. You may use any format you’d like: a letter, diary or series of diary entries, article in a newspaper, etc. Please be sure to use your own words when describing the events–do not copy from the textbook.
