What does a true American represent? Scholars investigate the equal rights era of the 1960s and 1970s in the 20th installment of a 22-part series on American history. Using photographic, magazine, written, and video evidence, groups develop a presentation that highlights individual Americans, from Latinos to African-Americans to members of the women's rights movement.
