Rough Mockup
From politics to war, and civil rights a lot of social change happened in the 1960s. I plan to briefly write about each of these topics and how the involvement of television broadcasting affected viewers. I will start with an overview of the topic, how the television was used in the home for entertainment, current events and how broadcasting these specific events affected society to eventually bring change to the country.
