The Civil Rights Movement exposed the nation\u2019s deepest moral contradictions; Vietnam eroded trust in government; assassinations shattered any illusion of stability; and youth countercultures challenged long-standing beliefs about authority, family, and identity.<br>This course examines the forces of protest, liberation, and upheaval that profoundly challenged America and helped create the world we live in today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-54007af2755a3dfa0476f521e58f2312 wp-block-paragraph\">Enroll this fall and explore the decade that changed America.<br><br><strong>Professor:<\/strong> Harvey DuMarce, BA, MA | hdumarce@swcollege.edu<br><strong>Schedule:<\/strong> Tuesday and Thursday, 2:00 PM to 3:20 PM<br><strong>Location:<\/strong> Room 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-17a4cfb8df171b605feace2f65c07a04 wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New Course for Fall 2026!
