Tim O’Brien reflects on the Vietnam War’s My Lai massacre, its moral and psychological toll on soldiers, and how memory, storytelling, and accountability shape how war is remembered, shaping public understanding of the conflict.

At the time of the Hard Hat Riots, construction was one of the most heavily unionized industries in the entire United States, and also in New York City. It was a bastion of labor unionism. What no one realized at the time was that it was on the edge of a cliff. The World Trade Center rises as New York City is sinking. And at the core of that decline is blue-collar New York. The '70s were kind of bad, you know, for construction. We had 1,300 members and only 650 were working. Construction workers would never earn again what they earned in 1973. And the average working man, would 45 years later, also not be earning more. Wages did not rise with the explosion of corporate wealth. Corporate America has been trying to destroy us, you know, since, really the beginning of things. Only elites have all the money, and they don't want to share it with nobody. It's not going to be good for the working class today. The United States conceived of a new kind of world economy. And the World Trade Center ended up being the manifestation of the command and finance center of a new American century. The World Trade Center, which, in its name, becomes an icon of free trade, is built by the very class of people that will in time be decimated by globalization and free trade. These men built an America that will leave them behind. But see, this is what Nixon saw. They were performing a function that was essential to the survival of a society. They wrapped themselves in that flag, because that flag was the whole history of their country wrapped up. It's a different culture. And the culture is, you defend the things you love.
On May 8th 1970 in NYC on Wall Street, young people were protesting the Vietnam war. Many construction workers were opposed to the demonstration because they felt it was un-American, decided to show up there to counter-protest .
A riot broke out. #HardHatRiot #PBS #AmericanExperience

Now's a good time to brush up on the despicable past that seems to be repeating itself today in America (and Europe). Full documentary. #PBS #AmericanExperience #KenBurns #History #Facts #Truth #SupportPBS
following a weird discussion on Threads over lunch . . . it appears that I'm "David McCullough will always be the voice of Ken Burns" years old. #AmericanExperience #DavidMcCullough #PBS
Watching the #AmericanExperience on Hannah Arendt and boy is it terrifying.
If you’d rather not know the worst thing Henry Kissinger ever did to America, “American Experience: Kissinger” is the documentary for you. #AmericanExperience #Kissinger
My review was too long for publishers, so I'm giving it to you free.

Fascinating story of #TheHardHatRiots in #NYC in 1970 - an event that I have no memory of - but which perfectly illustrates that division and violence is not new to #AmericanSociety. We've been through this before!
An episode of #AmericanExperience on #PBS

Excellent #PBS #AmericanExperience documentary about how bad "Science" still has lingering effects on America, today.

First day of American high school, I showed up from India in a three-piece suit. It felt like watching a foreign film without subtitles; over time, I learned to read between the lines. But for now, I took the nation at its word:

If you've seen this masterful documentary by Ken Burns, then you're not at all shocked at what RFKjr/Trump/Miller et. al. are trying to pull. Full length and free on YouTube.

#AmericanExperience. home to great documentaries about U.S. history, is being shut down for now, impacting stations across #PBS. What a loss. 😢

@nytimes.com reports that production of additional episodes of the award-winning " #AmericanExperience" have been cancelled in progress and no new episodes have been ordered. The show's production staff at @wgbh.org have been laid off, victim of #PBS budget cuts.

Fascinating to watch this documentary in contrast to today

We've been here before, #America, in the mid-1930s. Don't let today's #Nazis do what the German-American Bund (aka Nazis) tried to do in the 1930s. Watch ⬇️ on #PBS #AmericanExperience. and tell me the #Trump administration is not trying to do the same damn thing. Yeah, it's REALLY SCARY!
Goodbye to #Frontlines, #AmericanExperience, #Masterpiece, #PBSDocumentaries &, of course, #SesameStreet 😠😭

Once again, #AmericanExperience blows #HistoryChannel ‘s story about the Monopoly board game right out of the water! The only reason we know about the REAL origin story about Monopoly was because of a lawsuit against Parker Bros who did their best to HIDE the true origin and its REAL creator!
