On Tuesday, February 12, You Say You Want a Revolution? examines the vast cast of characters, a time of peace and love, violence and war, with former activists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They will provide an historical overview of the local, national, and global events that took place in 1968. Tickets are $10/$8 for Museum members.
On Tuesday, February 19, Born To Be Wild looks at Wells Street, Chicago’s alternative to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, where the masses of the 1968 counterculture gathered and created an alternative urban space.

Tickets are $10/$8 for Museum members.
On Tuesday, February 26, Dance To The Music features Terri Hemmert, music expert and WXRT DJ, as she leads a discussion about how the music of 1968 affected the culture and political movement of the time.
