August 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, repeating until August 10, 2023

Take a trip back in time in this WTTW documentary to an era that redefined Chicago history, an era that would transform a generation, and a time that would blossom into an age of self discovery. Experience the awakening of a city and an entire country during the pivotal times of the ’50s and ’60s. Relive Chicago through the eyes of 20 Chicagoans as they recount the stories and events of their youth, comings of age, and the hallmarks that define them as individuals, as Chicagoans’ and as Baby Boomers. Take a look back at the radio battles of WLS versus WCFL, the war in Vietnam, the upheaval of the Democratic convention, the Blizzard of 1967, the moon walk, and much more!
