How to watch
Summary
With President Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) deciding not to seek re-election, the race for the White House was thrown wide open. In a year of protests, riots, and assassinations, the election tested America in a way never seen before. Vice President Hubert Humphrey (1911–1978) was the eventual Democrat nominee and Richard Nixon (1913–1994) rose from the political dead to be the Republican champion. In this presentation, we will explore the twists and turns of an unprecedented race.
