The Decade With No Name

Barely, it fell in November 1989. Besides, "the '60s" didn't really start until 1963 or so. As cultural movements the "decades" are generally only rough approximations. "The '50s" similarly start in the late '40s and started to crackup with the Civil Rights movement in the late '50s leaving a period of the better part of a decade that people aren't really sure which they should be assigned to.
