What were Americans doing in the 1970s? Letting their hair grow, disco dancing, and following self-help gurus. Meanwhile, their faith in government faltered as they watched images of the Vietnam War and dishonesty in the White House. The 1970s saw the flower children of the 1960s growing up. Protests against war, discrimination, and pollution developed into new organizations and laws. Religious groups became politically active. It was a time for Americans in all walks of life to find their voices. The decade's notables included President Richard Nixon, civil rights leader Harvey Milk, feminist Gloria Steinem, moviemaker George Lucas, and tennis star Billie Jean King. They exemplified an edgy decade of clash and change.
