University of Kansas History Professor David Farber, the author of The Age of Great Dreams: America in the 1960s, talked about the 50th anniversary of Woodstock and the counterculture of the 1960s. The 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair was a three-day rock concert that attracted nearly half a million people to a dairy farm in upstate New York. Professor Farber discussed the social movements of the 1960s leading up to the event, how the unexpected cultural phenomenon unfolded, and the music festival’s legacy. close
