Photographers at Magnum Photos created a powerful visual depiction in 1968. These vivid full-page black and white photographs capture the vitality and anxiety of 1968. Scenes include symbols of the era, anti-war demonstrations, the hippie movement and public life, the King and Kennedy assassinations, My Lai village and victims of the Vietnam War, and more. These photos are a candid reminder that the 60's were both the best of times and one of the worst.
