53. 1963 through 1974 were the years of burgeoning idealism through the death of hope.

Our leaders were not perfect, but they did inspire a striving upward. Each time one was murdered, it took a huge chunk out of our ability to believe change for the better was possible. When MLK and RFK were killed so close together, there was no one who could or would pick up the torch and cynicism set in.
