The 1960s or the 1980s??

November 10, 2009 at 2:16 pm by wcsuhistory

Malcolm X vs. Spike Lee…
JFK vs. Reagan…
The Fugitive vs. The A-Team…
The Beatles vs. U2… ?
This article bemoans the tendency of college students in 2009 to still take courses on the US in the 1960s, while they (and their professors) ignore the 1980s. What do you think? And who thinks the 1970s are getting a bad break too?? [BP]

We are Burton Peretti, Michael Nolan, Katherine Allocco, Abubaker Saad, Wynn Gadkar-Wilcox, Leslie Lindenauer, Kevin Gutzman, Joshua M. Rosenthal, Jennifer Nugent Duffy, and Marcy May. We range in ages, backgrounds, families, religions, and interests, but we share a commitment to exploring the past as it connects to the present. For specifics about any one of us, you can check us out at the WCSU History Department webpage at http://www.wcsu.edu. Our blog examines history in our community, politics, and education; we welcome comment and discussion.
