Also, here is a sample intro:


  “There was music in the cafes at night and revolution in the air.” Bob Dylan, a seminal figure of the 1960’s, succinctly describes the decade: it was a period of great change socially and culturally in the United States. Popular music, professional sports, and the Civil Rights Movement all underwent dramatic changes during the 1960’s. Bob Dylan revolutionized folk and popular music alike by writing topical  protest songs and using electric instrumentation; Muhammad Ali revolutionized professional boxing by dominating the sport and using his religious views to protest the Vietnam War; and Malcolm X revolutionized the Civil Rights Movement by urging his followers to seek freedom through self-determination and even violence.
