Protest in 1960s Pennsylvania

The late years of the 1960s marked a turning point in American politics and protest, and the Keystone State and greater Philadelphia area were important sites of protest during this turbulent era. The articles in this issue of Legacies show that protest takes many forms—and that American history is as much a story of backlash to protest as it is one of hard-fought progress toward civil rights and a more equal society.
