Campus protests of the 1960s
The campus protests of the 1960s were a widespread movement where students and faculty demanded social, political, and racial change. Inspired by issues like the Vietnam War, civil rights, and free speech, these protests often involved marches, sit-ins, and demonstrations. They aimed to challenge authority, promote equality, and push for reforms in education and government. These movements reflected broader societal upheavals of the era and played a significant role in shaping American attitudes toward justice, freedom, and activism.
