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. The student protest movement was active both on campus and around the country, and there is much we can learn now from what was happening at the time.

This talk is presented as part of the IAS's yearlong 1968-1969 presentation and discussion series copresented by Northrop and the University Honors Program. Additional support provided by the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, the Hubbard School of Journalism, and the departments of History and Political Science.
