Democratic National Convention

Youth Culture, War, and Politics (Bill Howard and Mary Beth Yarrow)

This discussion, moderated by Star Tribune columnist John Rash, will feature family members of some of the 1968 Presidential candidates: Minnesota Senior Judge the Honorable William Howard (Hubert Humphrey's nephew) and documentarian Mary Beth Yarrow (Eugene McCarthy's niece), discussing their experiences of the late 1960s—featuring what it was like to be a young person and student at the time, their experiences being at the Democratic National Convention that year, and the background of the Vietnam War.
