Richard Nixon became the 37th President on January 20, 1969. Soon after taking office, he introduced this policy of "vietnamization." The plan was to encourage South Vietnam to take more responsibility for fighting the war and to eventually allow the US to withdraw troops from Vietnam.

On June 28, 1969, at The Stonewall Inn, in Greenwich Village, New York, the homosexual community were involved in a series of violent demonstrations against a police raid, called the Stonewall riots.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, an astronaut on Apollo 11 walked on the moon.

The Woodstock Festival was a four day rock concert from August 15-18, 1969. About a half million people gathered on a 600-acre farm near Woodstock, N.Y. for the concert, reflecting the anti war sentiment of the youth.

On October 15, 1969 was Vietnam Moratorium Day. Millions of Americans demonstrated in their cities against the Vietnam War.
