Peace 1969 - Articles Page 4

In 1969 hundreds of thousands of young people from across the country gathered on Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel, New York, and left as a community inspired to change the world through peace and love. Fifty years later, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts stands on that very spot, inspiring, educating and empowering a new generation through the transformative power of the arts.

The 60s are often remembered as a time of peace but the conflict experienced in that decade was immense. It was a time of loss of peaceful heroes, with icons such as Martin Luther King killed the previous year. As the Vietnam War raged in 1969, John and Yoko held their two, week-long bed-ins intended as a non violent protest against war and violence, and as experimental tests of new ways to promote peace.
