I understand the impact the 1960s had on Americans and Greeks, in general.

However, many NPHCers consider the 1960s to have been great years for NPHC organizations. Older NPHCers, people in certain areas, and people at certain institutions saw how NPHC organizations and organizations like the Urban Leage and NAACP were very active in civil rights (including but not limited to the rights of blacks as a minority group). Many older NPHCers look back at their collegiate or graduate days of the 1960s and discuss how "excited" they were over what groups such as the NPHC had to offer for public service and for an ability to "let their hair down" and get their minds off of social problems/have fun.

This was very empowering, even if it was prompted by disturbing events and social conditions. In the midst of protest, there were social institutions that served as a voice for communities and a foundation for social action and change.
