was vietnam and he was still propagating that war. so it was, "lbj, how many kids did you kill today?" >> he was rostill propagating that war. so it was lbj, how many kids did you kill today? >> hey, hey, lbj, how many kids did you kill today? >> by 1968, one of the loudest voices against the vietnam war was martin luther king jr. >> the world will be left with no other alternative than to see this as some horrible clumsy and deadly game we have decided to play. >> reporter: that april when he went to memphis, he seemed to have his legacy on his mind. >> i went to pick him up and i said i'm here, ready to get my passenger, the kids picked up his briefcase by the door. grabbed it, and said daddy, don't leave us. and he said i'll be right back. i'm just going to memphis.

daddy, don't go. daddy, please don't leave us, such a plea. i still hear it. >> i may not get there with you. but i want you to know the night that we as a people will get to the promised land. >> i have read that speech 100 times. the only thing i can come up with is that maybe it had finally come down on him that he is not going to live long and maybe he didn't care because he didn't like living in this world where we burn children. >> i said dr. king. that was it. i said dr. king. just as he straightened up. dr. king. and the bullet exploded in his face. >> martin luther king jr. was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee. >> reporter: news traveled more

numb. i have a distinct memory of standing in front of the tv watching the train procession. with rfk's casket and everyone on the sidelines and waving flags and saluting. it seemed remarkable because people from every walk of life, they were every race, they were every age. the silence i think is what it was that people were saluting and crying and waving and you know, waving flags and if it felt like this seminal american moment. i was five so it was hard to put it all together in my head. why is this happening and what does it mean and are we safe and all of that. but that procession just was so regal and beautiful. but unbearably sad. >> reporter: that year's democratic convention was pure mayhem.

vice president hubert humphrey got the nomination. republicans rallied behind richard nixon. he was back and he promised to calm the chaos. >> it is time for an honest look at the problem of order in the united states. >> he saw the tensions that were in the country. especially around vietnam and civil rights and he knew that there were people who didn't agree with the protests against the war who certainly weren't on board with civil rights. that's what nixon plugged into. >> mr. nixon is appearing in the doorway now preceded by members of the staff and the secret service. >> having won a close one this year, i can say this. winning is a lot more fun.

>> reporter: that moment, with the iconic woodstock documentary shaped the way it would be remembered. john sebastian was there as a spectator. he was summoned to the stage. >> i don't know how it is done with half a million people, but i just remember man, when i started singing and i might have had some oh jesus, this is crazy kind of thoughts but really, by then, i'm concentrating on the job. so i'm tuning on the way up the stairs. and they announce me and i go on. ience all of dsus had had enormous amounts of experience playing for those crowds of wow, 200. man, i'm rocking.

across the country already assembling on may 1st to protest the escalation of that war and to call for a national student strike. >> reporter: chic was a sophomore at kent state. her brother was a junior. >> i spray painted a building wanting someone to want to have to sandblast off the words u.s. out of cambodia. i threw a rock through the army recruiting office. i wanted the recruiters to sweep up that glass and know how angry i was they were going to take my brother off to war. >> reporter: at kent state activist was gerald casale who went onto start the band devo. >> you have the right wing working class townies who hated the students and were pro war. and you had the students who were largely either apathetic about the war or anti-war and were afraid of the townies and of course after the announcement by nixon, it was

their knees, lifted their weapons and aimed at us. my brother walked toward them. he was carrying a black flag in honor of the friend we had just buried who had died in vietnam. and it was then that i walked up to him and said alan, they are aiming right at you. >> next thing we know, they are all shooting these m1 rifles at us.

born into a world where women were not expected to work unless the job was to serve men. >> when i told my father i wanted to go to college, his response was that he had three sons to worry about. and that i was just going to get married and have babies anyway. >> reporter: there was a certain idea of what you were supposed to do. >> get married, have kids, be a perfect housewife. >> my mother told me a woman should always be subordinate to the male. not cost him too much money. and she should be quiet. and he was very hostile to the idea of women talking and thinking. unfortunately for him, he had a daughter who talked and thought. >> reporter: in the early 60s

there were still a lot of things women could not do. apply for a bank load without a male cosigner. breast-feed in public, get an abortion which was illegal in every state. in 1963, suzanne braun levine was a student and unexpectedly pregnant. >> they did give him the name of this guy who worked out of a hotel room on 79th street. and i didn't even know what he was going to do. but it turned out his technique was to insert a piece of seaweed and that would supposedly induce a miscarriage. i was in labor ten hours. it was so painful. i wasn't expecting it and my mother sat there with me. she didn't know what to do. >> reporter: that same year,

1963, a book came out that lit a fire for women. the feminine mystique. it sparked a feminist revolution. >> this woman heaved a brick through the rose colored picture of the suburban bungalow. >> a woman today has been made to feel freakish and alone and guilty if simply she wants to be more than her husband's wife. >> it was an unbelievable thing because what she said was the exact opposite of what we had been hearing all our lives. >> the book and the whole second wave of the feminist movement just totally blew the lid off that and made women realize my god, i'm really not alone at all. >> we come here as women who earn 58 cents for every dollar earned by men. >> reporter: by 1972, gloria

steinham was america's most famous feminist. >> we have come to the understanding that you can't marry power. so we have to have our own power. >> reporter: the school founder of ms. magazine, she brought feminism to newsstands across america. suzanne was the magazine's first editor. >> there was a period where i didn't want to tell people i worked at biz. if i went to a cocktail party. some guy would come over and go after me. often about abortion. his mission was to make the feminists cry. but there were also women who came over and said what the hell are you doing? you are ruining my life, planting ideas. in my daughter's life. get lost! >> and i would like also to thank my husband fred for letting me come. i love to say that because it irritates the women's libbers more than anything i said.

>> reporter: phyllis came out of illinois. >> a attorney and mother of six and set herself up to mobilize women who were very happy being housewives. >> reporter: she was the face of the fight against feminism. >> i really think you have to have psychological problems to still have a thing about women not having the right to vote. >> she was so smug and hypocritical. i mean, here she was, this working woman, playing power politics who was telling women that they would be much happier at home. >> boy do i dislike that woman. and i very personally dislike her. i dislike the fact that she feels entitled to tell other women what to do. if i could put salt in her coffee i would do it. >> hey, hey, what do you say? >> today, the national woman's

party lobbies for the 26th amendment to guarantee women equal rights under the law. that amendment would make women people in a legal sense for the first time. >> reporter: ms. lafley and her army of supporters fought to stop the era. feminists fought hard to pass it. >> i remember my mother was highly animated about this. why do you need an equal rights amendment? you seem to think it is not important when it comes to race but gender. >> reporter: the era didn't pass, still hasn't. but in 1973, women gained another right. to have safe, legal, abortions. the supreme court decision came down the same day former president lyndon johnson died. >> the other major story today, aside from the death of lyndon

johnson, and the tragic deaths and hopes for peace in vietnam is the decision of the united states supreme court that handed down a historic decision about abortion. >> the supreme court made the ruling and the supreme court is the law of our land. >> i just remember the relief and delight that we won this thing. it was one of the very first victories for the feminist agenda. >> this is the first time the supreme court has ever granted a constitutional right which it did so when roe was decided in 1973. and then, took it away. >> it's unthinkable that we now have the first generation that will literally be coming of age in my lifetime with no ability to make their own decisions about the most personal decision most folks will ever make. this will take years to win this right back.

between reality and television. >> reporter: then with the dick van dyke show, things started to get a little more real. >> starring dick van dyke. >> right? it was kind of a breakthrough. why did it ring so true? maybe because carl reiner's whole thing was he would say to his writers every week, what happened at your house this week? >> i once asked the question what was your five favorite show answer was dick van dyke. it was brilliant. >> still kind of looks like these other shows that we have seen before. right? the family sitcom. but there were differences. they realized pretty quickly that mary tyler moore herself was funny. >> honey, i'm home! >> so they started writing bigger plot lines for her. when a lot of times the woman

was the straight character. >> honey, did a package come for me? >> reporter: four years after dick van dyke went off the air, america fell in love all over again. there was something about mary. >> ♪ you might just make it after all ♪♪ >> reporter: at the height of the women's lib movement, mary richards was a new woman for the 70s. >> it was not the traditional story which was a woman is incomplete until she meets the right guy. and that was remarkable. >> the creators of the show were sickliers were reality and they wanted to reflect the times and they decided to hire women to write for the show, their first hire was triva silverman. >> reporter: one of the very few successful female comedy writers at the time.

she and james l. brooks were friends from their days in new york city when she was performing in piano bars and writing comedy. >> he said so, what are you doing now? and i said, i'm just about to wash my hair. no. career wise. writing wise, we are going to be doing mary tyler moore series, then came the records that ring in my memory. you are the first person we are calling. we would like you to write as many as you would like. that was a dream come true. i thought i'm home. >> reporter: to generate story ideas, brooks an burns would ask the writers what happened apt your house this week? straight out of the carl reiner play book. >> so jim and alan called me in. before we started talking about the episode, i was talking about something that had happened to me. there was a fedex guy or some package guy who came and he told me, ma'am, but i'm 30 years old.

my dad. and my dad laughing uproarously at archie bunker. what a show. norman learer, he is a treasure. >> i think tv could be split into two sections. bn and an. before norman and after norman. that's how huge all in the family was. >> well, it looked like something we had seen before. a living room. a couch. an easy chair. you know. a dinner table. but it was about something. it was about the generational rift. it was about traditional values versus what was happening across the country which was everything was changing and changing fast. >> we would still have problems. the war problem, the economic problem, the pollution problem. >> oh come on, you want to nitpick. >> nitpick? let me tell you something mr.

bunker. >> let me tell you something. you are a meat head. >> the show was such a gigantic sensation that richard nixon, there were tapes of richard nixon talking to halderman about that nice archie bunker guy. why are they picking on this guy? guy? the guy's name.e is now that's real family entertainment, isn't it? - how cool though? like you go from gilligan's island in the decade before to norman lear, a tv creator actually >> how cool though. we go from gilligan's island to norman learer. a tv creator attracting the ire of nixon, the president. i think that is when we knew tv had arrived. >> reporter: and it evolved. all in the family spin off. the jeffersons, and other sitcoms like sanford and sons and good time broke boundaries.

another refuse to run, and a third resign. by this point, boomers were working, starting families, raising the kids that would become the next generations. and just as their parents once did, a lot of those kids would grow up and find fault with the older generation. >> there is a very strong perception that baby boomers did extremely well. and then they just disregarded younger generations. they pulled up the ladder after climbing it is the way this is often put. >> the baby boomers are basically kind of our parents. i think there are mixed feelings toward that group of people. i think they did enact a lot of social change, but we also saw them sort of i want to say sell out the social change when they were able to buy nikes an bmws and stuff like that. >> it's easy to hate on the boomers because they are these gorgons just squatting on this ill gotten gain. >> every generation hates baby boomers because they think they are the be all end all of

everything. >> reporter: thing you can't take away from my generation is that we change the world. now it is up to the next generations to leave their own mark. >> there was a mixture of us but i was proud to be part of that generation. the anti-war movement, the women's movement. civil rights movement. woodstock. i feel privileges to have been a part of all of that and i feel terrible that this new generation has to go back and fight for a lot of those rights today. >> we as a generation says we did not do such a good job as evidenced by everything. so it is up to you. maybe our parents thought the same thing as well. that it was going footage released be up to us. >> it will be fascinating to see what happens with the generation that are losing rights right now. and i have full confidence that
