1968: The Year that Changed the World? Part 2 | |||||||
|
 |
1968 was a monumental year, in a transformational decade. It was marked by the Vietnam War, student protests, Soviet might, assassinations, war and famine. John Tusa recaptures these events through the voices of those who lived them, as he investigates whether 1968 really did change the world. | |

FIRST HALF  |
The inauguration of a black man as the 44th President of the U.S. might have been inconceivable in April, 1968. Then, the nation was reeling after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. John Tusa continues his in-depth look at that traumatic year by focusing on the issues of race and nationalism, from the U.S. to the civil war in Nigeria. |
