A Brief History

The 1960s was a hectic time in history involving many protests and movements that formed modern society. It was the time where people were standing up to unfair social norms and fight for equality amongst the nation (as well as going a bit wild). Afros was a thing and bellbottoms were popular. Also, lava lamps were invented in this time period. Key events included the civil rights movement, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and ending off the decade with sending Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the moon. Movements that emerged during this era includes pop art and psychedelic. The iconic movements that were mentioned, influenced many fonts that people associate the 60’s with.
