Released in 1970, “Try a Little Kindness” represents one of country singer Glen Campbell’s greatest hits. With the help of songwriters Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin, Campbell managed to produce a single and an album of the same name that resonated with listeners in the U.S. and around the world. “Try a Little Kindness” even topped the charts in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada during the early 1970s.

The song’s simple message promoted peace and brotherly love at a time when the Vietnam War was raging and poverty was widespread. Inspiring and touching, “Try a Little Kindness” encouraged individuals to be generous to others whether or not they were deserving of it. The definition of kindness, according to Campbell’s song, is being nice to everyone you meet—a definition that has arguably stood the test of time and is still applicable.

In 1971, the National Women's Political Caucus was founded by a group of feminist pioneers to address the limited roles women held in public office. Instead of being constrained to addressing envelopes and serving coffee at political functions, this slogan encouraged women to seek more active roles in politics and elections by playing on those social expectations and stereotypes.

The phrase “Yield, it’s more fun” featured on a downwards facing yellow equilateral triangle was a popular visual in the 1970s. It was most frequently seen on iron-on patches and buttons. The yellow yield sign was introduced to American streets in 1950 to assign right of way and encourage caution when merging. In 1971, the sign was updated to white with a red border and text, similar to the aesthetics of a stop sign.
