40 Years Ago


The picture from the '68 Chicago Democratic Convention captures the nation over 40 years ago. The 'candidate of change' Bobby Kennedy, had been shot. Nixon won handily. Years of Vietnam and deceit followed.

Tonight there are 200,000 people near Grant Park; waiting to hear from the anti-war, progressive, President-elect. Ohhh, how much a difference 40 years can make.
