Ever look at today’s top news stories and wonder how we got here? The Yearly Show’s here to remind you that today’s headlines are old news. The Yearly Show is a public history project that uses humor to provide historical context for current events. Each month, our team of crack comedian correspondents (led by NYU History PhD candidate Michael Salgarolo) zoom in on ONE SINGLE YEAR in American history and bring you the overlooked and unexpected stories that shaped our world today. This month: 1969! Student protesters confront a right-wing president, an escalation of the drug war on the Mexican border, a vocal but divided LGBT community…any of this sound familiar? Get ready, we’ve got all the wild stories that prove 50 years ago was just long enough for us to do it all over again!
