New Left Movement

The New Left Movement emerged in the 1960s as a progressive political force emphasizing social justice, civil rights, and anti-war activism. Unlike earlier left-wing groups focused on economic issues, the New Left prioritized cultural change, civil liberties, and challenging traditional authority structures. It was driven by students, intellectuals, and activists advocating for equality, environmental concerns, and progressive reforms. The movement influenced policies and societal attitudes, fostering discussions about race, gender, and peace, and played a significant role in shaping modern social movements.
