The 1960s
By Carter Powell
Overview
The second half of the 1960s was mostly uphill from there. In 1965 the voting rights act was signed into law by president Lyndon B. Johnson. MLK leads a peaceful civil rights march from Selna to Montgomery in Alabama. In 1966 the 25th amendment was ratified. MLK was assassinated by James Earl Ray in 1968. But finally, the dead JFK's dream came true! The U.S. landed a man on the moon!
