Which major 1960s movements challenged race, gender norms, and U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and what methods did they use?

• A. Civil Rights Movement Only
• B. Feminist Movement Only
• C. Antiwar Movement Only
• D. Civil Rights Movement, Feminist Movement, and Antiwar Movement; tactics included protests, sit-ins, marches, and legal action

Answer: (D)

Three major social movements in the 1960s challenged race, gender norms, and U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and they used a mix of tactics, including protests, sit-ins, marches, and legal action. The Civil Rights Movement fought segregation and inequality under the law; the Feminist Movement pushed for women's rights and challenged traditional gender roles; the Antiwar Movement organized to oppose Vietnam War policy and question government decisions. Together, these efforts connected across causes, with demonstrations and marches drawing attention, sit-ins disrupting discriminatory practices, and legal challenges and advocacy pushing for changes in laws and policies. This broad, interrelated push best captures the era and the methods used to pursue social change.
