As the Vietnam War raged on, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, and protest seethed on university campuses. In this 40th anniversary of the year 1968, an exhibit titled The Whole World Was Watching: Protest and Revolution in 1968 provides a snapshot of a complex and pivotal time in American history. The exhibit is drawn from the U-M Library Labadie Collection, and is located in the University Library Hatcher Gallery, Room 100.
