We worked with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute to conduct oral history interviews about experiences of every day life and also significant events of the year 1968.
The day of oral histories was a part of an OLLI University Day with the same theme.
Who remembers where they were during the life changing events of that year, in particular, the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King?
