The Sixties Museum, Inc. plans to provide the following programs, which are based on the ideals exhibited during that decade. These programs depend on your support.

School Teaching Units:

Teaching Units for Elementary and Secondary Education will be available in the following areas.

Space Exploration: The Cold War motivated it. President Kennedy assured it. Document the adventure, and study the times.
The Sixties Lifestyle: From music to clothes, from art to the Summer of Love. The changes in lifestyle, art, music, television and families are documented.
Civil Rights in the Sixties: Document the struggle that culminated in the sixties. From activists to the emergence of Martin Luther King. From organized protest to violent revolution. Examine the struggle and build pride.
Environmental Preservation: We forget how Lady Bird Johnson and Green Peace played a role in today’s attitudes about pollution and environmental preservation. See the roots of the movement and a list of activities that students can get involved with.
The Cold War: An overview of the struggles of the Superpowers, with an emphasis on the effect it had on the everyday person. Visit bomb shelters, look at the school drills, and examine the effects that the tension of a looming World War III, had on students, literature, news and entertainment.

Scholarships:

To reward students who exhibit and keep alive, the spirit of the Sixties, in art, literature and social work, the museum will annually bestow scholarships for further education.

Freedom Scholarship: Each year, the museum will provide an educational scholarship to a student whose activities or behavior exemplify the spirit and ideals of brotherhood, put forth by the civil rights leaders of the decade.
Artistic Spirit of the Sixties: Each year, the museum will provide an educational scholarship to a student who exhibits creative and artistic excellence, in keeping with the artistic spirit of the Sixties.
Women’s Spirit: Each year, the museum will provide an educational scholarship to a student, whose activities or programs exemplify the spirit and ideals exhibited by the leaders of the Women's Movement in the Sixties.
Environmental Preservation: The Sixties Museum will provide a scholarship, to a student who through word or deed, exhibits a concern and motivation for environmental preservation efforts.
Fellow Man: Each year the museum will award a scholarship, based on good works toward "fellow man." This student will have exhibited some outstanding quality, or performed some deed that keeps the spirit of "Peace and Love" alive.

Preservation Programs:

The Sixties was a revolution is art, style, music, writing and culture. The Sixties Museum has programs to provide for the preservation of materials, media, art etc. and to provide for the display of such materials for academic study, public viewing, and free artistic appreciation. These efforts will result in both a permanent location, and a traveling exhibit for educational and display purposes.

Military Recognition:

Each year, the museum will provide a recognition of special efforts or human values exhibited in the Vietnam Conflict, by a service man or woman. This is meant to recognize achievements of a more personal nature, or achievements ignored by typical chains of command. Nominations can be sent in via the Web or submitted in writing. All entries must include documentation for verification.

Hall of Fame:

Sixties Hall of Fame: Each year the museum will induct into its Sixties Hall of Fame, those groups or individuals whose activities during the Sixties, helped to shape the future. Nominations can be made via the Web or submitted in writing.

We are a virtual Web museum that is looking for a physical home. Our goal is a permanent location in 2004.
