Anyone caught up in the events of 1968 will tell you it was a year like none other. Anyone else who looks and listens back -- has to agree. It was the bloodiest 12 months of the Vietnam War and a year that saw the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. It was a year of protests around the world. Yet amid the tragedy of that time, a generational idealism was born, a belief that people could stand up and say no.
