Today's focus is on the tumultuous events of 1968. We began by viewing a video clip focusing on the impact of the Tet Offensive and the increasing turmoil at home, including the declining of the democratic nomination by LBJ and assassinations of RFK and MLK. The clip concludes with a discussion of the election of 1968, including the Democratic Convention in Chicago and the general election between Democratic candidate Hubert H. Humphrey and Republican Richard Nixon.
A discussion and notes followed the 15 minute video clip.
