Nifty Novels: To Kill a Mockingbird By: Anabelle Kang
When the Pulitzer Prize-winning book To Kill A Mockingbird came out in 1960, it swept the nation into a flurry of outrage and shock at the civil injustice. The book was so influential that it can be credited as one of the many factors that sparked the Civil Rights Movement. Because it was from the point of view of Scout, a little girl who still viewed the world in the blunt innocence of a child- it allowed the general public to look at segregation from a different, more introspectively relatable angle.

Scout and Atticus Finch In the 1960 movie (Portrayed by Mary Badham and Gregory Peck)
The book was so popular, that it was made into a movie just two years laterquite a feat at the time that reflected on the popularity and significance of the book. As Harper Lee’s only novel (no, we aren’t counting Go Set A Watchman), the novel made a huge impact on the nation in a way that very few books can.

As a culture that was only recently emerging from the WWII “cuisine” of food rations, and the conservatively convenience of the 1950s casserole, the food of the 1960s reflected greatly on the extravagance and fun of the 1960s. Much of the food was showy and complex, often created with French influence. Other foods were more “Americanized” versions of ethnic food, such as the soul food of the south and Japanese steak houses. The idea of “flaming” your food also came into play, introducing fondue. The 60s wasn’t all expensive and foreign dining, of course. The 60s became the first era of junk food. The quick production and high sugar content was designed to please the baby boomers.

Because the 1960s experimental era- fashion took many risky statements; from the wildly popular pillbox hat (made famous by Jackie Kennedy), to the drainpipe pant that Audrey Hepburn modeled. Other big influences, from Britain, were Twiggy and the Beatles. It became acceptable to use dresses that showed less figure definition; this was considered to be the modernist look. At the same time, the rebel rocker look was born. Patterns such as plaid and paisley were worn frequently.

Fashion! Skirts began to shrink during the 1960s, until they reached just above the knee or five inches above. (Scandalous!) They called it the mini skirt. Skorts also made a big debut and became extremely popular because they were a way to get the length of a miniskirt but still be modest. These came in a variety of fabrics. These bottoms were usually paired with loose blouse to contrast the tightness.

Suburbia, statement sleeves became popular again. Bubble sleeves, which gave women a doll-like appearance, were a distinct look as well. The sporty look came during this decade as well in polo shirts, hooded sweaters; all of which are still worn today. Tight dresses were still worn, but “shift” dresses were starred in vogue at this time. These comfortable cute, patterned dresses were inspired by modernists. A-line mini dresses were also popular. This trend was introduced by Christian Dior.

Stilettos were all the rage. Women liked getting the bombshell look with the miniskirts. There was also a more modest version, the kitten heel. These heels were in vogue as well, giving the leg a feminine lift while still providing comfortable wear.

Life was fast paced during this decade. Cash was, then, out of the picture of the way of spending money and the credit card trend soon began. The 60’s was also the decade of interior designs of homes. From music to entertainment, people were in for the new and hip designs. It was also a time where a TV became a big part of the people’s day.

How We Let Freedom Ring By Anabelle
Kang
Segregation was a mindset that swept the nation. In the north, segregation wasn’t legally enforced like it was in the south, but rather kept by custom. It was harder for African American to get jobs, especially higher paying ones. Also, children could not attend the same schools.
The daring spirit of the 1960s characterized the time to be the decade of civil rights
The civil rights movement reached its peak in the 1960s, as icons like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King jr paved the way. Movements like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the “I Have a Dream” speech sparked the motivation to push for civil rights. Finally, Civil Rights were acheived.

Vietnam War By: Leticia Milesi-Halle and Anabelle Kang
The Vietnam War was the longest war in US history, lasting from 1955 to 1975. The conflict first began when Vietnam tried to free itself from France, which had held reign over it for over a century. This struggle for independence was sparked by the communist leader of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. America’s first opportunity to take part in the war arose when Ho Chi Minh asked John F. Kennedy for assistance in the fight for independence, who turned it down due to Ho Chi Minh’s communist beliefs. Before this conflict, China and the Soviet Union, two major powers, had already fallen to communism. JFK saw Vietnam as a tipping point on a row of dominoes. Moving forward without the help of the US, Ho Chi Minh occupied Hanoi in North Vietnam, proclaiming it as “an independent Vietnam.” France refused to accept their independence, and soon conflict broke out between the two countries. This conflict is known as the first Indochina War.

It was then that the US decided to get involved. Though never stepping foot in the actual combat, America supported France through money, food, supplies, artillery, etc. The US hoped that a French victory would stop the spread of communism. This conflict continued for eight years before the French were forced to surrender in Dien Bien Phu. The conflict was momentarily neutralized as an international conference, known as the Geneva accords, met in Geneva, Switzerland to discuss matters in Vietnam. It was decided that Vietnam would temporarily be split into two parts, north and south and would be reunited at a later time, when free elections had been held. Ho Chi Minh remained the leader of North Vietnam, and the US placed a man named The world had already seen this strategy a decade ago in Germany, and had watched as it failed- soon they would see it fail again in Vietnam.

In the Geneva Accords, the US had placed a supposedly “democratic� leader named Diem in control of South Vietnam. Diem was not as democratic and fair as the US had predicted, though, and imprisoned people who spoke against him. The US became forced to physically take involvement in the war. Johnson, who was the president at the time, needed an excuse to get involved. The opportunity came to him in the form of reports of US ships being sunk by Vietnamese torpedoes in the Gulf of Tonkin. The reports were sketchy and not backed with
very much evidence, but Johnson went for it anyway. He took it to Congress, asking for permission to do whatever possible to stop the threat of Vietnam on their warships. Congress bought it and gave Johnson leeway to do whatever necessary to neutralize the conflict. Johnson took action immediately, sending troops to Vietnam gradually until half a million troops were in Vietnam. The US citizens were outraged by this; Johnson had promised that he would not send US troops into war, and totally went against his word. The war continued for 20 years before Nixon finally ended the war. To this day, the vietnam war is still known as a failure.
