The March for Justice & Racial equality in America for Blacks, runs the gambit. The 1960s have achieved almost mythic status as a hinge point in American history. Both those who welcomed and those who feared the convulsive changes the decade brought can agree on one thing: Socially, culturally, and politically, the nation was a very different place when the ’60s ended than when they began. In 2020 this could be another such moment. The 1960s saw the emergence of social movements around civil rights, opposition to the Vietnam War, feminism, Mexican American activism, environmentalism & gay rights. The past decade has seen more youth-led movements around climate change, gun control, immigration, and inequities of gender (#MeToo) and race (Black Lives Matter). Just as with the Baby Boomers before them, Millennials, Gen Z, and the generation following them will eventually define the new American mainstream through their priorities & viewpoints, as over time they become a majority of the nation’s population. The U.S. Census Bureau already predicts that before 2050, the majority of the USA will be made up of minority populations. According to Pew's research, 46 percent of white people fear that would weaken U.S. culture. A quarter of Hispanics and 18 percent of black people have similar fears. Forty percent of blacks and 46 percent of Hispanics say the shift would strengthen those customs and values.
