The cable news network debuted 10-part series “The Sixties” Thursday night, and it will air at 9 p.m. ET and PT every Thursday through Aug. 7.

“The Sixties” examines the events and people that contributed to pop culture, civil rights, politics, and technology during the iconic decade, and the series was produced by Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, and Mark Herzog.

  • Weekly live question-and-answer sessions with historic figures and the producers of “The Sixties” during each episode.
