You're gonna need to be a bit more specific on your question and it's generally considered good practice to offer your own two cents on the subject you're asking about.
I presume you mean a revolution stemming from a failed Civil Rights movement? That seems to be the most likely avenue for something like that to happen.
However, in my opinion, at worst you would get a few radical groups sniping at policemen and occasionally bombing cars. Of course, a full-on black insurgency might be in the cards in TTL's 1970s if you start such fun in the 60s.
Other than that there isn't much chance of a revolution; the hippies and their ilk were in the minority in the 60s and weren't especially violent to begin with.

There were lots of them. Cultural Revolution, Quiet Revolution, multiple nations in Africa.....
I'm assuming you mean revolution in the way that the American New Left/Left wing militants commit and outright overthrow of the government and established order. In which case, ASB; the OTL was the worst case scenario. You can make that worse, but I don't see how you can take it from civil disorder to government overthrow.
