My research paper will focus on the music that inspired the hippie movement and the civil rights movement.  One event that truly captures the mood and thinking of this generation through its musical performances and magical setting was Woodstock.  I will use the documentary Woodstock as a primary source and as the basis for my research into the peaceful nature of this movement.  There are many aspects of the 70's contained in the three hour documentary such as political protest against the Vietnam war, civil rights protests, and inspiring music.  The music fascinates me most, and it is shocking to see how the music truly captures the 400,000 person audience.  The messages behind many of the songs played at Woodstock are peaceful, and the message is clearly conveyed to the audience.  I'd like to research what exactly happened at this festival and what exactly is contained in the music that allows it to inspire a generation to successfully create a roadmap for change.
