The Sixties Exhibit

The 1960s - few other decades in American history have witnessed such staggering changes. In this exhibit we turned the spotlight on two momentous years - 1963 and 1968 - and the contrast described two different countries altogether. Political and social turmoil was reflected in law, education, music, literature, the arts, entertainment, and fashion. Decades later, America is still sorting out the consequences.
