In this paper I will outline some items that were buried in a time capsule during the 1960’s decade and have been discovered by my colleagues and me in an archeological land field in a remote part of Africa. I will describe these five items that had a vital impact on the era of the 60’s and detail what significance of these items and how they shaped history. The items located upon digging were: A laminated ticket to the Martin Luther King speech at the Lincoln Memorial, an embroidery patch with a peace symbol on it, a record of the Beatles album “Help!” a psychedelic poster, and lastly a pair of tattered jeans.

This ticket was proof of entrance and attendance to witness a speech entitled “I Have a Dream” given by Dr. King which went on for generations as an impact as to what lead movement, a different approach to thinking, and peaceful boycotting. With this documentation of history the archeologists are able to notate what the civil rights and other movements have done for American history and what how different things are without racial, gender, and sociological bias. The speech itself moved mountains although no one who attended this event would know just how much impact it would have it definitely reshaped America and is worthy of being in a time capsule that represents an era known as the 1960’s.

Throughout the world this symbol has taken on many different meanings and representations but
