1950s, Civil Rights, Cold War and Docs (?)

Each class started today by finishing the video from Friday.  We then discussed some of the remaining important events from Chapter 36.  These included:

• The Cultural Critics of the 1950s (The Beat Generation)
• GI Bill of Rights
• military-industrial complex
• Berlin Wall
• Cuba (Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis)
• Civil Rights Act of 1964
• Voting Rights Act of 1965.

3rd and 4th period also had time to begin looking at the documents for the 1995 DBQ on Civil Rights.

Remember that tomorrow's test is 55 questions and you will have 55 minutes.
