Remembering King

In The Glory and the Dream, William Manchester's splendid chronicle of America's passage through the middle years of the 20th Century, there is a long chapter devoted entirely to events that occurred in 1968. Manchester chose to call that chapter, The Year Everything Went Wrong.

It was the perfect title for an account of that dreadful year of turmoil and turbulence. From the launching of the Tet offensive by enemy troops in Vietnam in January to the bloody violence on the streets of Chicago during the Democratic convention in August, the country was assailed by one shock wave after another.

And of all the traumatic events that Americans had to live through in 1968, none was more tragic than the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
