I just finished watching CNN's 4-part documentary re the year 1968, which CNN calls the "most turbulent time in modern American history."

I turned 18 that year & I had forgotten what a tumultuous year it was!

From the War in Vietnam, to the assassinations of MLK & RFK, the riots in Black communities, LBJs resignation, the protests & police violence at the Democratic convention, the rise of George Wallace & the election of Nixon & ending with men walking on the moon.

Worth watching IMO if/when you see it aired.
