=Introduction= The people of the 1960s shifted our history and have brought us to where we are today. Our nation is more open minded and free than the generations of the past. Because of the great minds who spoke out against what others said was "right," today, we are still curious about how the people of the 1960s. Who are these people? Why were there views so radical? Click "task" to find out more.

=Task= The Smithsonian is opening an exhibit specifically for the 60s era. The person who is organizing the exhibit wants three historic figures' life events portrayed. You and your team will each represent a different historic figure of your choice. You will research that person and the events they lived through that helped shaped the 60s. Create a script, storyboard, and a video. The winner of this competition not only gets a place in the exhibit, but each member will be awarded a $100,000 prize.

By exploring their lives and understanding the past, you can create parallels to present day issues. Thank you for representing your historical figure, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Smithsonian workers
