FRSEMR 47n - The Sixties: History and Memory

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

The movements of the "Long Sixties" - notably civil rights and Black Power, the New Left and the counterculture, peace activism, feminism, and gay liberation - have transformed American politics and culture. Drawing upon a broad range of primary sources, we will explore the struggle to define what it meant to be American during this period, and how that struggle has been remembered, so that students can develop their own interpretations of this pivotal era of history.
