‘The Sixties' on CNN....

You guys up for a walk down memory lane?

Explore the decade that shaped America: ‘The Sixties' starting May 29 at 9 p.m. ET
The full 10-part series begins May 29

The space race, the cold war, "free love," civil rights and more: The decade of the 1960s shaped our history -- and changed the world.

In collaboration with Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog, CNN explores perhaps the most transformative decade of the modern era in a 10-part documentary series and brings new insights into how those events shaped today.

making babies and changing diapers that decade that I missed the "free love", etc. part.

Wasn't really interested in the Beatles et al.

I did delight in JFK's presidency, his vision, and noticed all too well and sadly the assassinations of MLK and Bobby.
Got my babies up from bed to see the Moon Landing.
