Tim Nash once said‚ “The 1920’s represented a time of tremendous social changes‚ which was reflected in fashion as well.” The Roaring 20’s was a memorable time period to many as this was an incredible generation that introduced new music‚ movie productions‚ and style changes.

In Thomas Paine’s Rights of Man‚ America is viewed as a place of great diversity and prosperity. America seems to be a haven in 1791‚ filled with people from all cultures living their lives without a care in the world.

It is wholly recognizable that the 1960’s is one of the greatest triumphs in American civil rights history. The 1960’s not only continued the frigidness of the Cold War‚ it bolstered voices of African American’s and their oppressed state. Centuries of their rights‚ ideas‚ and voices being suppressed or disregarded exploded during the 60’s.
