The 1960s witnessed unprecedented progress toward racial and sexual
equality, but it also played host to race and urban riots. And while
impressive advances in the sciences and arts were fueling the American
imagination, the counterculture rejected it all. The A to Z of the
Kennedy-Johnson Era relates these events and provides extensive
political, economic, and social background on this era through a
detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and
several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important
persons, events, institutions, policies, and issues.
