136. Indeed. And THESE young people were also becoming aware, some 40+ years ago

*Where they took that awareness is also the story.

Every generation has its moment of awareness about the world & political impact on their lives & future.

1969.
There were no computers & cell phones .
Social media was word-of-mouth, and college campuses were the center of information for music concerts, political unrest that lead to change & tho there was plenty of infighting as to ideas & what direction theirvcause took, it was effective & massive.

To effect change, it was necessary to get up, get out & join together.

Tho different in its method, that mission of past generations was much the same as millennials & youth today.
The gen of the 60's/70's was moved by the messegers of music.

The gen had it right but were viewed by the capitalists as 'ripr for the taking'. They saw half a million potential buyers, to be exploited. There was more to be sold to this group besides rolling papers & albums.
They were potential buyers of everything from clothing, cars, college educations, & political slicksters promising more than they would ever deliver, but they could be easily exploited if the ads played to their young "concientiosness".

To those who carry the torch & hand it someday to the next gen, I add a cautionary, "buyer beware".

From Human Rights to Vietnam, know who has your back & who will readily exploit you for their own motive. $$
Study History. Love. Stand. Sit. Kneel, For those who went before you & especially for those who will follow you someday.

"There were surprisingly few episodes of violence, though one teenager was accidentally run over and killed by a tractor and another died from a drug overdose. A number of musicians performed songs expressing their opposition to the Vietnam War, a sentiment that was enthusiastically shared by the vast majority of the audience. Later, the term “Woodstock Nation” would be used as a general term to describe the youth counterculture of the 1960s."
