Crisis: 1968 Democratic National Convention
1968 was a turning point in United States' history. From the civil rights movement to the Vietnam War to the assassinations of multiple powerful figures, Americans were fed up with the current system and wanted a change. All of these tensions and more hit a boiling point at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Delegates will be able to explore the complex US political process amidst handling tensions both at home and abroad. Representing figures such as political candidates, journalists, and civil rights leaders, delegates must work together to steer the US in the right direction, before it is too late.
