- Abstract
The article offers the author's perspectives about the year 1968 as one of the most troubled years in the history of the modern left politics in the U.S. He said that 1968 unfolded a series of thrilling moments including the courage of Senator Eugene McCarthy to challenge President Lyndon Johnson, the effort of Robert Kennedy to enter the presidential race, and the initiative of Martin Luther King, Jr. to lead a Poor People's Campaign. He added that during this period, streets and cities were turning into very violent places with the prevalence of discourse about urban violence.
