A world-changing year of international social upheaval is examined by a panel of historians and actual participants in the events. Mark Kurlansky, author of 1968: The Year that Rocked the World, recounts the year’s major events and movements. Invited for discussion are Mark Rudd, former U.S. student revolutionary (now mathematics teacher); Daniel Cohn-Bendit, former leader of the French student revolts (now co-president of the Greens/European Free Alliance in the EU Parliament); Edward Mortimer, British journalist who covered the events in France (now Special Adviser to the U.N. Secretary-General); Carol Brightman, American anti-war activist (now a journalist and award-winning biographer); Julian Jackson, professor of French history at Queen Mary College, Univ. of London; and Bobby Rush, co-founder of the Illinois Black Panther party (now U.S. Congressman for the 1st District, Illinois).
