I was only 17 and not at all political in 1968, but the Chicago convention and its chaos made a lasting impression. As did the election results. LBJ may or may not have won if he hadn’t stepped aside, but for sure that action lost us that election. The last thing we need at this time is a repeat…if you can’t learn from history what’s the point?

I, too, was alive and aware at the time of the '68 DNC. The big difference between then and now: the Vietnam War.
