got to start somewhere

Hello and welcome to my first post! In attempting to find important and noteworthy resources as a window into the minds and souls of college students and the US in 1966 I found a lot of potentially useless material and Ive decided to go ahead and gift you with some:

LBJ's 1966 State of The Union (first 5 min)
-Vietman
-Civil rights
-War on poverty
-World hunger
-Trade expansion to Russia

Watusi Dance Video
Similar to the twist, a popular bubble gum dance of the mid 60s. Origonated from the song "El Watusi" by Ray Baretto in 1965

Cryin Shames Video
Political pop

Miriam Makeba, aka Momma Afrika, singing "Khwleza"
- A strange cross with US '66 pop music and fashion with a highly charged political and cultural tone

-Makeba was a pop artist and civil rights activist
