In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most chaotic, game-changing years in American history—1968. I’m joined by Mr. Beat, historian and YouTuber, along with fellow podcast host Mr. Smith, as we unpack the seismic events that rocked this year. From the Vietnam War and the explosion of anti-war protests, to the heartbreaking assassinations of MLK and Robert F. Kennedy, we explore it all.
We dig into Lyndon B. Johnson’s shock decision to step aside, the rise of civil rights movements, and how moments like the Tet Offensive, broadcasted into living rooms across America, completely shifted public perception. We also get into the Kerner Commission report, and how the racial divides of 1968 still hit hard today. Buckle up—this is a deep dive into a year that forever changed America’s course
