1968 - did you help to make history?

Help us gather stories from people who stood up to be counted against the Vietnam war, and against tyranny, in the worldwide protests of 1968

We have today launched an appeal to those of you who played any part in the revolutionary events of 1968 to come forward and share your memories of that historic year.

"A storm swept the world in 1968," wrote Tariq Ali in the Guardian last month. "It started in Vietnam, then blew across Asia, crossing the sea and the mountains to Europe and beyond. A brutal war waged by the US against a poor south-east Asian country was seen every night on television. The cumulative impact of watching the bombs drop, villages on fire and a country being doused with napalm and Agent Orange triggered a wave of global revolts not seen on such a scale before or since."

we want to hear from you

What was your level of involvement?

What were your hopes and ideals?

And what do you feel is the legacy of '68?
