1975,the Vietnam War is finally over.

In many ways it really was the anti-war movement on the ground that shaped our story of Vietnam

and to some degree the actual experience of the war.

For many of the baby boomers,

the protest and rebellion has a wider aim:

to create a completely new way of life.

You could rebel against your parents and rebel against society

while creating your own utopia,

this is a very 60s ideal.

Creating a land where you can live your dreams is part of the American character.

The reason that the pilgrims came to America.

Why Mormon pioneers headed west.

The baby boomers aren't looking for a new land.

They want to change American society,

make it a fairer place.

As the 60s turn into the 70s,

black activism, native American land rights, gay rights, ecology and feminism

burst on to the agenda and the streets.

The baby boom generation shaped America,

the movement for equality for women in the workplace certainly came out of that.

There is a tiny moment in American history

gave a lot of confidence to American women,

Freedom is freedom.

All men and women are created equal.

I had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in.

I neither took part in nor knew about any of the subsequent cover-up activities..
