1960s student movements

The 1960s student movements were a series of protests and activism by students advocating for social change. They opposed issues like racial segregation, the Vietnam War, and authoritarian government policies, seeking greater civil rights, peace, and individual freedoms. Inspired by the broader counterculture, students organized sit-ins, demonstrations, and rallies, often challenging traditional authority. These movements played a key role in shaping modern social and political ideas, emphasizing activism, liberal values, and the pursuit of justice. Their efforts contributed to significant changes in legislation and public attitudes during a transformative decade.
