Description
Madison made history in the sixties. Landmark civil rights laws were passed and pivotal campus protests took place. A spring block party turned into a three-night riot, amidst urban renewal troubles and a bitter battle over Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace. This decade saw significant change, from politics to public schools, construction to crime. In this comprehensive narrative, historian Stuart D. Levitan chronicles the birth of modern Madison with style and well-researched substance. The book features heavily illustrated photographs that document dramatic changes occurring downtown, on campus, and in the Greenbush neighborhood throughout the decade. Madison in the Sixties is an absorbing account of ten years that changed the city forever, offering a unique perspective on the period's key events and issues.
