Cultural, Political and Social movements in the 1960s

This post is about one of the main social, political and cultural movements that took place in the 1960s.

One of the major movements in the 1960s was racism. A lot changed when it came to racism, especially in music. Music created by people of colour was invented way before but this was the decade that it boosted, which resulted in the famous Elvis to "Support" black music. Elvis, like many other white musicians of this particular time, has been accused of stealing elements of black music and selling it as his own.

A lot happened during this decade. These include:

• The Anti-War Movement
• Second Wave Feminist
• The Black Civil Rights Movement

One genre of music which has been influenced by the Black Civil Rights movement is Rap. Another genre is Hip-Hop. Many rappers, especially in the 1990s used to rap about racism. One of these artists is Tupac.
