The student movement of the 1960s was a significant period of activism in the US. After World War II, the US faced issues of racial injustice, economic inequality, and foreign affairs such as wars in Korea and Vietnam. Young people got involved in political issues to stand up for what they believed was right. Many students on college campuses were dissatisfied and demonstrated about important issues. Between 1960 and 1966, students initially protested civil rights, property, and campus issues before becoming active in the antiwar movement at the height of the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. Jaydn learned about the event at Kent State University in 1970.
