Important events and people of the 1960's?

I have to do a huge project on the '60s for my AP US history class.





My topics will be as followed:





Civil Rights- MLK jr., Rosa Parks, segregation, boycotts, sit-ins





Politics- Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Cuba, Vietnam War





Pop Culture- cars, Barbie, fashion, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, "Bonnie ond Clyde", "2001: Space Odyssey", Johnny Carson, Woodstock, British Invasion, Motown, marijuana and other drugs, Armstrong's walk on the moon





Athletics- Olympics, Jackie Robinson, Wilma Rudolph





Are there any other topics I am missing? Do you have suggestions for people or events I should cover that I have not already mentioned? Do you know of any informational websites other than wikipedia)?





Thanks for your thoughts!
