Assignment:

Using Kenneth Cmiel's essay and the documents of Major Problems, discuss and assess the Black Power, Free Speech, and counterculture movements of the 1960s. In your short essay, analyze and assess historian Cmiel's argument and provide examples of the ways in which these movements challenged "civility." Consider the following questions in your essay: How did these movements defy society's traditional notions of civility? How did these movements impact American society?

In addition, choose two primary source documents from Major Problems to support your analysis of Kenneth Cmiel. For documents related to this topic, see chapters 12 and 13 in Major Problems. Students can also use their U.S. History textbook for more background to 1960s protest movements but should not use outside sources other than the class books. Note that chapter 29 in your U.S. History textbook discusses the movements you will be addressing in your essay. Do not overly rely on your textbook, however, as your primary goal is to analyze the required sources in Major Problems. Students are also encouraged to view the documentaries in the module to further understand key social movements of the 1960s.
