The 1968 Project. An extraordinary year. An unforgettable exhibit. There has never been another year like it, before or since. It began with one of the Vietnam war's bloodiest battles and never let up. MLK and RFK. Urban riots and college sit-ins. An Olympic year and election year. Women's lib and black power. Stir it all together, mix in a lot of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and you get 1968. A relentless year of culture-shifting, life-changing, memory-stamping events. All of it vividly detailed like never before by television's advancing influence. Inescapable . Incomparable. Unforgettable. 1968.
