Beschreibung

"Retrospect 1964" is "The United Press International History of 1963. It covers just about everything that happened, encompassing American national news and international happenings - covering politics, important historical events, obituaries, criminal cases, entertainment, including sports, movies, television and Radio. It is a literal smörgåsbord of fascination. To name only a few things that are covered that are important, President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 . the world looked on in horror. Medgar Evers was murdered, and that murder still reverberates today. In 1963 the massive Freedom March on Washington was staged. The March was made up of Blacks and Whites who supported racial equality (There was considerable racial tension in the United States that year.) In this anthology, there will be much that you possibly do not remember . and much you do! For those born after that year, this book will reveal why it was such a pivotal year. America ( good old U. S. A. ! ) . and , in part perhaps, the entire world changed forever. ****************************************** TITLE : Retrospect 1964 (The United Press International Pictorial History of 1963) / EDITOR : United Press International / (A.
