The Baby Boomer Mythmaking
What made the Woodstock Festival significant in America was the baby boomer mythmaking. It became an essential moment of that generation. The Woodstock generation was given birth to at a time when there were challenges in America.

The festival gave Americans 3 days of love, peace, and culture. Even till now, glimpses of those changes that happened during those three days are still seen. These glimpses are seen in many green movements, in grass-roots organizations, and what people refer to as a Woodstock moment – the election of President Barack Obama, the first American black President.
