March 1968 stands as a pivotal moment in the Vietnam War, marked by unprecedented chaos both on the ground and in the highest levels of the United States government. On the battlefields of Vietnam, soldiers faced relentless combat, as the Tet Offensive continued to sow confusion and fear. Back home, the Johnson administration grappled with its own form of chaos. President Lyndon B. Johnson and his advisors were caught in a web of political turmoil and public dissent. As casualty reports mounted and televised images of the war's brutality reached American living rooms, public opinion turned against the war.

Step into the tumultuous world of March 1968 with our latest temporary exhibition, Ain’t No Daylight in Vietnam: March 1968. This compelling exhibition offers an in-depth exploration of the Vietnam War by focusing on the pivotal month of March 1968, providing a nuanced perspective of the conflict through the eyes of those who experienced it first-hand. Drawing from a rich collection of photographs, letters, and personal accounts, Ain’t No Daylight in Vietnam immerses visitors in the intense realities faced by soldiers, medics, and civilians.  The exhibition captures the harrowing experiences of combat, the emotional toll of the war, and the political and social reverberations of this critical period in American history.
