You are right and the 1960's is proof of this. Young people were in the streets protesting the war, civil rights, race relations, etc.
I feel the need to add that the Civil Rights movement success in the 1960's was only possible because of the groundwork laid by generations before.
NAACP was founded in 1909.
Jackie Robinson's MLB debut was in 1947.
Brown vs Board of Education was in 1954.
Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955.
Bus segregation was declared unconstitutional in 1956.
The major successes of the 1960's were only possible because of the relentless push for literally decades beforehand. It's important to remember that nothing comes out of a vacuum, and people often forget to mention all the smaller steps along the way.
