This was a time of style, music, and a lot of historical events that took place such as Dr, Martin Luther king did his I have a dream speech, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. this was a time where trends were set with style of clothing you name it.. such events like the first man walked the moon, the bombing of the Mount of Olives during the Six-Day War took place as well, so I would say this is why the sixties were called the swinging sixities, because so much was going on at this time, events happening, so close together..
