1968: The Year That Will Not Go Away
Daniel Warner | counterpunch.org | 2018-12-19
Few days remain in 2018 to celebrate and recall all the events on the 50thanniversary of 1968. Comparisons with the "gilets jaunes" in France have evoked some of the memories, but for those who lived through 1968 as students there are events permanently etched in our psyches that will not go away. For Millennials and the X Generation, 1968 is pre-history, ancient dinosaur time. For those who experienced 1968, it was a year of rupture and transformation.
