Rewind with the Pacifica Radio Archives: The Anti-War Movement in 1968

Recovered from FSRN’s earlier site via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Originally published August 1, 2008.

This week, we start a new series on FSRN, featuring historic audio preserved by the Pacifica Radio Archives. Once a week, we will rewind some 40 years – and hear from the voices that shaped a movement for change. We'll hear from anti-war protests, raising the black fist at the Olympics, the Chicago DNC, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, and a lot more… We kick off by hearing a portion of a momentous interview between Congressman William F. Ryan and General David M. Shoup – a decorated Marine Commander who served in Vietnam, and returned to become one of the most vocal critics against the war. For more information, go to www.pacificaradioarchives.org
