With all the comparisons between 2020 and 1968, on this weeks Florida History Podcast we look back at Florida politics in 1968. It was a year that defined modern America with its civil disobedience, racially-charged politics and of course The Vietnam War raging.

Florida had a major role in the Presidential Campaign with the Republican National Convention being held in Miami. George Smathers Senate seat was open and the race to replace was an epic contest.
