Topic: The Freedom Riders and the Summer of Love

Using the videos “The Freedom Riders” and the “Summer of Love–1967” and Corbett and Mack, Chapter 12, answer the following questions in a post at least 300 words that start a thread: How were young people in the United States pushing for change in the 1960s? What was the strategy behind the Freedom Riders to change the United States? What did the young people who participated in the Summer of Love in San Francisco want, and how did they go about bringing about change? What were the legacy of the Freedom Riders and the Summer of Love for us today? Are there lessons we can learn from the experience of young people in the 1960s?
