The year 1965 is the beginning of the sixties. The movements and events that characterize and define the decade do not truly commence until the year 1965. The Women’s Rights Movement, Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, and a change in the music industry all began within this year. 1965 was a year of chaos and turmoil. Societal norms were questioned and barriers were broken, as the oppressed and the discriminated stepped out of the shadows to speak out in defiance and protest. This year changed all of the rules and left the American people lost in a complete unknown.
