The episode gave a flavour of what happened in 1968 and brought back uncomfortable memories for those of us growing up during that turbulent time. However, little seemed to have been learned as the war in Vietnam still kept raging, civil disobedience continued and assassinations were still being attempted later in 1972 on George Wallace and later still when Reagan came into office. Scary times.

Never Another Like It
Hitchcoc24 July 2016
The Sixties series shows us how a single year could have about as much impact as any in American history. In 1968, we had the assassinations of Martin Luther KIng and Bobby Kennedy. We had the election of Richard Nixon and then the Watergate scandal. Then there was the Democratic Convention in Chicago. We have the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew, a true crook. This is all packed into about 50 minutes. These turbulent events show that what we are experiencing today is nothing new. Racism is still in abundance. Dirty politics are the same old same old. There is excellent footage and narration here to bring to life this memorable year.
