The story: 1968 was a year that changed the United States forever--and the world, too. Michael Kaufman, a reporter for the New York Times, watched it all come down. Here, he offers a short but thorough report about the killing of both Martin Luther King, Jr and Bobby Kennedy, campus riots, the Vietnam war, and other events that people are still talking about 50 years later.
Non-fiction: regular ratings don't apply. Good for middle school readers.
Liz's comments: 1968 was a watershed year, not just due to the killings of Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy. Here's the story of some recent history whose effects are in place today, told by a person who lived it.
