Turning Point

February 28
by Amy

The President went to Dallas yesterday. He kept his trip a secret. It was the first time Johnson traveled to Dallas since John Kennedy was murdered. The paper said that he would be 200 yards from Dealey Plaza.

Who wants to hear Johnson speak? Why would anyone invite that man anywhere? And what did he tell the National Electric Cooperative Association?

He sees a turning point in the war.

We see a turning point in the war. For some reason, I don’t think these turning points are the same thing.

About Project 1968

  • Started in January 2008, Project 1968 is a blog docu-novel about the lives of two young women on their way to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

    It is a way to look at the day-to-day happenings from 40 years earlier. It was created solely by independent writer and researcher, Laura Axelrod.

    Janine Stephenson, an 18-year old freshman from the University of Wisconsin, took the semester off to campaign for Senator Eugene McCarthy. She is accompanied by her best friend, Becca.

    Amy, a 23-year old anti-war protester, works at a well-known peace group in Chicago.
