The American folk music revival is agreed by most music historians to have begun in the 1940's and peaked in the 1960's. That peak was attributed to, and aligned with, the focus on the Civil Rights and Antiwar movements. Figures such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul, and Mary dominated the folk revival scene at this time with their political commentaries and messages of peace, harmony, and social change.
