Opening Event: “The Times They Were A Changing-1960s: Huntington’s Response”

Step back a decade or four and experience the unique
spectrum that was the 1960’s. The times they were a changing and everything
from fashion to music to art and entertainment was evolving. The fight for
women’s rights and civil rights, suburbanization, urban renewal, counter
culture, the war in Vietnam, the moon landing, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the
Kennedys; these are some of the iconic happenings of the 1960’s. They shaped
the lives of the young people who lived in Huntington; what were their voices?
