America Dreaming: How Youth Changed America in the 60's Book

Laban Hill, author of the acclaimed Harlem Stomp, is back with an in-depth exploration of America in the 1960's and the young people who built a new world around them and changed our society significantly.

Like Harlem Stomp, America Dreaming is an educational and visual look into a time of energy and influence. Covering subjects such as the civil rights movement, hippie culture, black nationalism, and the feminist movement, Hill paints a sprawling picture of life in the '60's and shows how teenagers were on the forefront of the societal changes that occurred during this grand decade.

The New York Times - Steven Heller

America Dreaming, by Laban Carrick Hill, is…an accessible historical account that smartly begins with the simmering postwar '50s and explains the civil rights movement and various social rebellions that followed. Most useful for young readers, it examines the emergence of activist movements that fought for causes like the environment and gay, Native American and women's rights…an excellent textbook for the children and, probably, grandchildren of baby boomers who want to know what the youth culture of the time was all about.
