1968: many prominent threads of 20th century America converged that year, and many of our present-day challenges emerged from the wrenching turmoil of that time. The year 1968 was tough. The Vietnam War was in full swing, and the home front was ripping itself apart with assassinations, riots, and widespread despair. Among the questions we will explore in this side trip are these: Fifty years on, what vestiges of 1968 linger in our personal and collective consciousness? How did 1968 shape what was to come for us individually and us as a nation? Are there lessons from 1968 that could illuminate our contemporary political and social landscape?
