Grenoble Winter Olympics: 1968…One Of The Few Bright Spots

1968 was a hard year in America. Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. Riots were everywhere after the King killing, there were riots over the war in Vietnam and riots in Chicago at the Democratic Convention. Bras and draft cards were burned, but, the Olympic flames in Grenoble warmed us a bit with the success of Peggy Fleming and the US hockey win over Russia. The year ended on an up-note with 3 American’s circling the moon.
