1968 Project
NOW from ANYWHERE
TELL IT LIKE IT WAS 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were murdered. Demonstrations at the Democratic convention gave us the Chicago Seven. Black Power fists were raised at the Mexico City Olympics. Jackie Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis and LBJ sent thousands to Vietnam. Where were you and what did you think of any or all of it? The 1968 Project wants your recollections of that dizzying year as part of what will eventually become a touring exhibit. To add your reflections to the pool of memories, visit the project's blog. If you shouted then, speak now.
