Assassinations of social and political leaders, including the 1963 shooting of the president of the United States, as well as protest marches, burning of the American flag, and violent demonstrations, were the scenes of the day.
Seda iseloomustasid avaliku elu tegelaste ja poliitikute mõrvad (sealhulgas Ameerika Ühendriikide presidendi mõrv 1963. aastal) ning protestimarsid, Ameerika lipu põletamine ning vägivaldsed demonstratsioonid.
