There were a variety of ideas proposed by the interviewees. The military draft was a point of tension and unrest in the United States during the 1960’s mostly because men were being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War which especially by the late 1960’s was unpopular among the American people. The United States drafted military age men between 1964 and 1973. The draft itself contributed to the unpopularity of the war. Summary written by Rebecca Sills, in Dr. Carrigan's AMH 2020 H2SL (Honors/Service Learning).

A huge divide was rumbling not only in the U.S. but around the world. Some people saw this change an act of evil. Fundamentalist Christians saw this time as an attack on morals. Most attention in the media was on the progressive movements going on at that time. There were just as many people who did not support this movement especially conservatives. The author talks about the “lazy Americans” the Americans who question everything but gets nothing done. The author is saying that if America keeps on its current path that the Soviet Union will dominate the world because Americans were becoming too weak.

This political cartoon focuses on some of the significant issues going on during 1971 such as debates on pollution and overpopulation among the U.S. People believed that foreign immigration to the U.S. and the amount of reproduction was causing overpopulation and was viewed as polluting America. Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States.

Show moreThis issue of the Pioneer Press includes the article "The Teetotoalling Days are Over". This article manly focuses the viewpoint of the draw backs of drinking whether or not the user is underage. The Author also stresses the fact that there is a need to raise the drinking age across the whole country in order to try and prevent under age citizens from drive from one state to another one whose legal drinking age is lower. This was all in the attempt to decrease the number of fatal car crashes across and within state boundaries. This is historically significant due to the fact that thought the early 70s and all the way till the late 90s there was a big push to raise the drinking age in all states across the country. This was due to the fact that the number of fatal car accidents were at an all time high. This movement to try to reduce the number of fatal crashes became a issue on the national stage in the early 1980. Mothers against Drunk Driving, which was created on September 5, 1980 in California, sought to spread awareness across both the United States and Canada of the dangers of drunk driving as well as driving under the influence of other drugs. Summary and historical context written by Christopher Santiago Jr. as part of Dr. Michelle Carriagan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

" A former student from IRJC, Jim Ross, wrote an open letter to Mr. Molnar, an Indian River Junior College professor.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans affairs "Approximately 2.7 million American men and women served in Vietnam.

Show moreWelcome to the inaugural edition of The Indian River Review! The germ of an idea that was dropped into fecund soil years ago has finally propagated, put down spidery roots, sprouted like a green–leaved seedling above the brackish surface. We hope that like the red mangroves that shape our namesake river The Indian River Review will serve as fertile habitat for the literary and photographic arts of the Treasure Coast and help protect against the erosion of the cultural and artistic stratum that makes any place a rich one to live. Although our roots are local—the editors are all Indian River State College faculty—our scope tends outward beyond the region: we received submissions from Eastern Europe and China, as well as from across the United States. The theme of the issue is Time and Place, and these poems and stories and essays are testament to the power of the particular: this gravestone or Agave bottle or Chicago street-corner, that instant when the breath is held, the phone call that changes everything. In short, we have been enriched by the endeavor; we hope you are too.

Show moreAt one time, memory was recorded by story tellers who kept oral records of the past. Since mankind has moved from an oral to a literate culture, documenting narratives and experiences has been the objective of writers and photographers. In this second issue of The Indian River Review, our contributors share their creative memories in different forms. Poets tell us about an overhead conversation that stings with criticism, a lost love who seems to disappear, a summer afternoon that stretches far ahead. Other authors carve out stories of their ancestors never met and parents they idolized. These textual memories are mixed in this issue with photographic evidence of time, moments of time that have been stopped for us to examine closely. The editors hope our readers will enjoy these shared memories a much as we have.

In addition to the campus being built and expanded extra staff and faculty were needed. The school took $360,000 to finish building after the campus was cleaned up from construction they let students in. This artifact is important to local researchers because this campus opened right in our own backyard. It is a great location historians could come teach or learn about the surrounding community. This is highly significant to the community because it is a new campus for students to come to instead of having to go to Ft. Pierce. Summary and historical context created by Anthony Cannata as part of Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.
