1960–1970: Promise, Fire, and the Moon

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The 1960s opened with the first televised presidential debate and a young president asking what Americans could do for their country. It closed with a man walking on the Moon. In between came the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, the Great Society, Vietnam, Watts, Tet, and the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Junior, and Robert Kennedy. Jim Rand traces the decade when promise and fracture arrived together — and a fractured nation still kept one extraordinary pledge. 🗣️ Check out other great shows! 🎙️ **The Odyssey: Short & Engaging Retellings** A modern, vivid retelling of Homer’s epic poem — one book at a time.
