Project Overview
The Presidential Election of 1968 was heavily influenced by the clash between pro- and anti-war politics, and Minnesotans played an outsize role in the struggle. David Lebedoff, then a young Minneapolis lawyer, knew all the major players, and his political journey that year took him from the precinct caucus level to the stormy Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Join him as he recounts the events of that tumultuous year.
