Recalling a little. Part II


And we got to the 60's.
profound changes continue to happen in the second half of the twentieth century.
As we saw in previous article, the television was one of the most important event in the 50's.
Now, in the 60's comes a decade full of changes, including:
Hippie movement,
Women's liberation,
sexual revolution,
The struggle against ethnic discrimination, among others.
And many of these events led to a great reaction to the profound changes that had produced World War II in society and culture.

The Hippie movement was truly exceptional. They say that began in the U.S. city of San Francisco Youth, in a clear protest against the status quo (system social time), was revealed. "No to war," We just want peace and love. This movement was full of color, was one of its most representative. The colorful clothes, decorations for cars, houses, walls, graffiti, etc, was the actual. As shown, the photo illustrating this article. And that's multicolored their actions were a result of a drug that more was present in those years: LSD, which caused large colorful hallucinations among users of it. This was deniminado colorful "psychedelic." A major
Hippies of Venezuela was the Cappy Donzella, who produced a show, if I remember correctly, in the Parque del Este, which led name: PSICOTOMIMETRICA EXPERIENCE. Remember?
Hippie movement did not want more wars. At that time, U.S. was waging a war against Viet Nam War, which cost a lot of lives of young Americans and of course, Vietnamese. A U.S. war lost from the start, it faced an entire people. Viet Nam was divided into two parts, North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Millions of young people were sent to the war and a high percentage died in it. The company protested, fathers and mothers begged for an end to that war. The Hippie movement was declared anti-war. "NO A LA GUERRA" "PEACE AND LOVE" were his watchwords. LET'S MAKE LOVE AND NOT WAR.
Another movement that emerged almost in parallel was: sexual revolution. The young and not so young began to proclaim to all the winds of free love. All this against the tenets laid down in those years where everything that had to do with sex was "Taboo" All these social movements of those years were consistently demolishing a large number of paradigms that existed about sex. Luckily
also in those years, he invented the contraceptive pill. Of course, as was new and like all beginnings are slow, this pill was having success with the passing of years, therefore pregnancies were not wait.
and other social movement of that time was women's liberation. Women began to demand a place in the prevailing patriarchal society of that time.

As we can see, the 60's were very moved by great social changes which gave a 180-degree global society.
Among the best known representatives of these movements, in the musical arts are: The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, etc.

These social events "dragged" to speak in some way, to another, which came very strong at the time: THE FIGHT AGAINST RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. Cassius M. Clay that is, Mohamad Ali, the great heavyweight boxer of the 60s and 70's was one of the most notorious spokesmen at the time. Another, Dr. Martin Lutther King, who gave one of the most moving speeches in defense of African American ethnicity "I HAVE A DREAM." This cost him his life.
The Black Panthers, The Black Power, black radical group began JOINING noted, began to demand equal rights, leading to heavy fighting in many U.S. cities "Blacks" were considered less than citizens, were a lower class and therefore did not have many rights in this great country.
Ok, until the next article.

Recalling a little ...


Hello my friends, I'm back this channel. Yesterday was me a great childhood friend and we started to remember things from our childhood. And we can definitely say that we are living a momentous time. A generation that was born in the 50's, we have had the fortune to see many events that should have improved the lives of our entire planet. The Twentieth Century, from the 50's saw another way of relating awakening, but for one reason or another, this new form, was manipulated by "forces, semi hidden powers" that have always struggled to not lose a meter privileges. We can start the Century XX in 2 parts: before and after the 2nd World War. I can not even imagine how horrible it was that war. But the world realized that we were going straight down that path to our destruction. (You will find other ways to destroy). There was a universal pact: UN. And to our OAS America. And so, in the early 50's saw the emergence of the TV. In my house, for reasons I will not mention, was television since "day one" to put it in some way. So remember the first children's program that was on our TV, called BAMBILANDIA, and memory to a stanza of his presentation: >..." Bambilandia is the country where children are happy and have more "... detectivezca also remember a series called " BOSTON BLACKY, where the couple detective protagonists, male and female, had a dog named Blacky. Of course, TV was in black and white. Mickey Mouse first appeared, and was flaquiiiito and belly. In the humor had 2 programs: beans and Robustiano , played by Ana Teresa Fernandez and Carlos Guinand, and the other was BARTOLO, with Amador Bendayan. Remember as I said the presentation of Bartolo? >>... Bartolo, let's see, the add 2 and 2, that's easy to find, that's easy to find 2 and 2 are 22 ... Another paunch more! And another very popular program was wrestling. Remember the name of some of the fighters? Dark Buffalo, The Ring Tigrito Bernardino La Marca, The Chinese Dragon, The Phantom and his second, and hits the poor wore thin!, Among others. A memorable series was RIN TIN TIN and out Rosty, Sergeant O'Hara and Lieutenant Rick Master. Remember him? La Candelaria was the main shopping area. And of course the center of Caracas, El Silencio. In the Towers of Silence were the Almacenes El Moro and Africa, where they sold clothing for men. Racks at the corner was another very famous clothing store: Doville, and his slogan was: Doville that great, and this he said a green parrot. The American Store, which sold everything that was appliances, furniture and other household appliances. I remember seeing my grandmother ironed the famous Chinese plates, which were put to warm in the kitchen. Were plates of pure iron. In the afternoons, dropping it, many times I sat in the front door to wait for "the baker" who came on a bike to deliver bread from house to house and almost always gave me a sweet muffin, the which RIKA butter was too tasty. The bike had a trunk to one side where it came from the pan and kept warm. Local had which were called "MILLS", where corn was ground to make dough for arepas. They had 3 modes: 1a) You buy the dough ready to make arepitas; 2a) You had corn, ground it there and gave him the dough and 3a) You once bought the arepitas, 8 for a bolivar. Watching TV in Venezuela was inaugurated back in 1952, the first channel was Channel 5. In 1953 he opened Televisa, Venevision today, Channel 4. And in that same year she also appeared RCTV, Channel 7, then channel 2. And not because it causes, I will find out, the channel RCTV, he said in his advertising "channels 2, 3, 7 and 10. Definitely television was a great event occurred at the time, and today it is said that approximately 90% of households in Venezuela, has a television. Well my boys, and I will continue telling you about those days so memorable and the most important events of the time. Until next time.
