This week Charlie and I will be learning about the 1960s the decade David and I were born in as well as my brother. My parents were married in this decade as well. Did something significant happen to your family in the 60s? Can you share it with us? If so leave me a comment and I will share what happened with Charlie.
Here are the 1960s: The Summer of Love, the space race, Vietnam, the assassination of JFK, Andy Warhol, the Berlin Wall, the Beatles. From start to finish, this is the decade when everything changed—when we changed. With insightful commentary and hallmark photography from the archives of LIFE magazine, LIFE: The 1960s reveals the turmoil and triumphs of the most tumultuous decade in American history.

A thought-provoking introduction by Tom Brokaw spotlights the enduring legacy of these years, powered by the baby boomers and their quest for love, liberty, and equality.
