Us baby boomers are lucky. We grew up in an era of huge cultural and scientific achievement, and the icons of our time have gone down in history as American icons.
But you’d be surprised by how many people nowadays can’t identify the changemakers we knew and loved. Sure, everyone has heard of Rosa Parks, but do you know what she looked like?
So many things of note happened during the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
It was truly a time to be alive! From the Free Love and hippie movements, to the civil rights movement, to the birth of rock and roll, and even to landing a man on the moon, us Baby Boomers have lived through events that still impact us today.
But these events didn’t happen on their own. It’s thanks to the icons of our time that so much change took place. Behind every significant historical moment are the people who made it happen. Nobody would know those iconic paintings of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s Soup cans without Andy Warhol, and guitars wouldn’t quite mean the same thing without rockers like Jimi Hendrix.
Apparently Baby Boomers have the best knowledge of American icons.
