This question refers to the trip that Dizzy Gillespie and his band made to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia in 1956. The main reason why this trip was organized was because the United States was interested in presenting a positive image of America abroad. One of the ideas that the group wanted to spread was that of anti-authoritarianism. This led them to oppose rules and regulations of government.

This idea was particularly powerful in Greece, which at the time had an authoritarian, unpopular government. The ideas spread by these people were so popular that people in Athens tossed their jackets in the air when Dizzy played, and even carried the musician on their shoulders through the streets of Athens. This showed that the music was a huge success.

Are sports always political?
Nitella [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Generally, sports are something that is a common and frequent argument between which or what team is better. Many people will bring sports into a political statement or argument, whether that means that which state is better in general, which team is most voted the best, or just a plain argument in general.

So yes, sports are always a political statement. From the simple games of a childhood sport game, to the Olympics. It is a constant never-ending battle of who and what sports and people on the teams are the best.

What characterized the social rebellion and struggles for civil rights in the 1960s and 1970s?
qaws [65]
If you had to choose a characterization of the social rebellion and struggles for civil rights in the sixties and seventies in the US, one option would be "peaceful," since although there were indeed some violent protests, most of them were remarkably non-violent--as those pursued by people like Martin Luther King Jr.
