The Baby Boomers lived in booming times. The post-World War II world was rarely (if ever) dull. For the US, it was a time of economic abundance and cultural change. Involvement in or protest towards the Vietnam War affected many young lives, as did the countercultural scene that started on the West Coast and spread to the entire nation. This was the generation that witnessed a host of tragic deaths (JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and more), a host of monumental events (landing on the moon, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Watergate Scandal), and, of course, the birth of rock & roll. So much went on that it can be hard to remember all the details – which is why we created this quiz. Good luck!
