In the United States and around the world, 1968 was a tumultuous year. There were assassinations and riots on the ground in the United States, and abroad, the Vietnam War intensified with the Tet Offensive.

The Atlanta History Center is commemorating that event and the war with an exhibit of oral histories, objects and photographs called “More Than Self: Living the Vietnam War.” It stems from the center’s larger Veterans History Project that started in 1999, which collects veterans’ stories through interviews usually with other veterans.
