=1968: The Year that Changed Everything= =A Town Meeting=


 * Introduction**: Why is this year important? According to Jonathon Darman, a journalist for //Newsweek//, "all of us, young and old, are stuck in the 1960s, hostages to a decade we define ourselves as for or against." (Darman) The issues which we confronted as a nation that year were issues that matter most:
 * "How should America show its power to the world?
 * "What rights were owed to African Americans, to women, to other minority groups?
 * What is America and what does it want to be?" (Darman)
