Sharon's Sixties

APUSH into the Past

The 1960s were one of the most historic periods in history. This era held many country changing events that made the modern day America possible. Many growths occurred in the science area such as putting men into space and inventing new technologies based around this. People fought each other over race as well as came together in support of each other. Leaders rose and fell, leaving the nation in mourning multiple times. Without this era, America would not be the same. Born in 1948, Sharon (Hetrick) House was aged 12 through 22. She experienced firsthand what the times leading up to the 60s was like and after the 60s were over she felt the effect of the history made then. She grew up as a child through early adulthood, a very important part of any child's life. Without this era she may never have become the person she is today.
