Author Visit!
Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation, brings to life the tumultuous decade of the 1960s in his latest book Boom! Voices of the Sixties. Brokaw will be signing his new book at the Chicago State Street Borders on December 13th at noon.
1968 is a well done film that shows the people and events that shaped the year that rocked our history. It was a time of change for America, and yes, the world. Many rose up and made their voices heard. Power was challenged, and people said no to the government and war. The nation seemed divided. Much of this can be said of today's America, but 1968 paved the way by becoming a revolution against the old standards of home life, race, music, politics, law, and on, and on. Blacks marched, and women stood up to the norms. Times were changing. So many things happened. Some good. Some bad. But the echo of 1968 is still heard today. Tom Brokaw gets a 5 star rating for his amazing work on 1968. This film will be talked about for years to come.
