I lived around DC, that was a bit young for protesting but I had cousins that came down from Chicago and they would come over to the house grab a meal shoot the breeze and they were basically there to meet chicks. There was some real radicals but they were the born in the 40s crowd.
I read recently that my age group being one of the younger first cousins of the Boomers is now called generation Jones. I think we used to be called Boomers II.
If you were born between 1946 to 1964 then you are a boomer.
