I was born in 1964.
As I struggle to think about it, I know I don't have any specific memories of 1968, but somehow I feel like I remember the sense of tragedy around the assassinations of RFK and MLK.
Somehow, though, it makes a connection to today.

Although you are too young to remember much about 1968, it was a pivotal year for me, as it was for our country and for the world. I was a senior in high school, just becoming aware of and horrified by the atrocities of the Vietnam War and by the atrocities in our streets and cities. The assassinations, as well as the police riot at the DNC, certainly solidified my political thoughts and actions.
