At 10:30 this morning the Golden History Museum (map) will present 1968 – The Year of Turmoil. America is more divided today than it was at any time since the Civil War. Or is it? Martin C. Babicz, Ph.D., will look at the tumultuous year of 1968, a year in which assassinations, riots, and war nearly tore the country apart. Dr. Babicz will also explore how the United States became divided in the late 1960s and the impact that polarization had on the future. $0 Members; $10 non-members.
