File talk:1960s decade montage.png
US-Centric?
[edit]This montage, as collected, strikes me as very much biased towards American history of the 60s, as opposed to World history. The Beatles, Vietnam war, MLK Jr, JFK, Woodstock...maybe we could put together a more representative assortment? RideABicycle (talk) 13:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. The montage is US-centric. There were far more important events that took place than Woodstock or the Beatles. There was the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Biafra War, the Six Day War, and the Soviet incursion into Czechoslovakia. The picture of Martin Luther King Jr. symbolizing the campaign for racial de-segregation in the U.S. is important and should remain, the landing on the moon was a major human achievement and should remain, and also an image of the Vietnam War is pertinent. In the place of the image of Woodstock and the Beatles should be an image regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Six Day War. The Kennedy assassination though important should be replaced with another image of a major international event, an image from the Biafra War would be a good example, it was a major event in which many people died in the conflict.--R-41 (talk) 02:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Here are pictures that I suggest be added:
Adlai Stevenson shows photographs of Soviet missiles in Cuba to the UN Security Council during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 
A famous picture of a starved girl during the Biafra War.
