1968 in retrospect reaches 2018 with stark contrasts
The piece reflects on 1968 as a year of drastic upheaval from the Olympic black power salute to the first interracial Star Trek kiss, MLK and RFK assassinations, civil rights and antiwar protests, and space and tech debuts. It notes Nixon's 1968 victory and the looming commemorations of half a century with a sobering, nostalgic lens.
