"They do things differently there." -- L. P. Hartley, The Go Between.

In the 1960s women held few political offices, had little equality in the workplace, could be discriminated against when applying for credit cards and mortgages, and, oh, could not attend the University of Virginia as an undergrad, much less get an athletic scholarship. See President Hillary Clinton.

In the 1960s we were drafting young men (hard to get the younger generation to understand that!) to fight in a war to stop Communism.

In the 1960s the white population dominated culture and elections. See President Barack Obama. In 1966 we were just beginning to implement the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

In the 1960s Hoo basketball was terrible. A worthy discussion, though, Abdul.
