On Radio 4, 1968 is being remembered in daily 5 minute chunks (this day in 1968 stuff). You can hear the podcasts or listen again for up to 7 days after the date.

Today, for example:
Martin Luther King led a protest in Memphis that ended in disaster, the first American F111 plane to be deployed in Vietnam went missing, and there were student uprisings in Poland, Spain and Japan.
It's all accompanied by groovy music too.

1968....I sure do remember that year. It was the year I got married for one thing. Not to mention the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.......and my father died right in between their two deaths. What a year that was.
