Over the past 50+ years, the era of the 1960s has evolved into the “Golden Age” for the post-WWII Baby Boomers. As with all Golden Ages, there are myths associated with the 1960s that contain varying degrees of truth.

The purpose of this program is to examine a few of the myths of “The 60s” through the lens of critical thinking. Some of the myths discussed in the presentation will reference the political orientation of Presidents Kennedy & Nixon, the 1960s as a time of “Peace and Love,” and perceptions related to the Vietnam War, etc.

The program will hopefully provide a novel view of some of the topics of this era.

Tim is a lifelong student of history and a proud Baby Boomer.
