3. The sit-ins were a brave protest of blacks not being allowed to be served in diners. To come in to a segregated place, even with one or two dozen friends, where you knew you would not be welcome was dangerous. Many of them went to jail because they had been taking business away from the restaurant. I can imagine white, paying customers walking in and going right back out because the place is already full of black people who can't buy anything.

Since that time people can afford their rent and cable TV bill while only working 25 hours a week at McDonalds. The American dream lives on...

5. The 80th congress balanced the federal budget. This is an incredible feat for a government that spends as much as ours does. It showed that even in a time of crisis (the Little Richard craze) a nation can still unite and create wealth. Prosperity is still possible today, if people can get past the cries of another black man with new ideas.

6. Wow, what a question. I couldn't decide between Douglas MacArthur and Jackie Robinson and Elvis and Lyndon B. Johnson and Henry Kissinger. There are so many possibilities to choose from.
