The Historical Gaming class closed the fall semester with a spirited version of the simulation Chicago,1968. That game is part of the Reacting to the Past curriculum, which is very popular on college campuses. Students assume the roles of various historical figures and analyze primary sources to write speeches, set goals, and develop strategies to "replay historical events.
In this game, students assumed the roles of journalists, democratic politicians, and Vietnam-era protesters. The politicians attempted to build a party platform and nominate candidates for president and vice president at the turbulent 1968 Democratic Convention. The protesters' goal was to disrupt the Convention and gain media attention for their causes.
By the end of the Convention, the students nominated VP Hubert Humphrey for president and Governor John Connally for vice president. Unfortunately, several protests broke out during the Convention, and although Karter Terhark, as Mayor Daley, acted swiftly to crush the demonstrations by arresting several protesters, at least one was hospitalized as part of the game. The bad publicity followed the Democrats throughout the election and resulted in a victory for Republican Richard Nixon.
Pictured are Kyler Sedlock, Alex Gatchell, Braxton Burnworth, and Corbian Blair as protesters who seized the podium to nominate their candidate for president - Pigasus. Karter Terhark as Mayor Daley and Riley Newton as the Democratic Party chair, Carl Albert tried to restore order. Cliff Hull, as Abby Hoffman, led the protesters in a musical interruption of the Convention.
Overall, it was a fun and creative way to relive history and explore the issues of the 1968 presidential election.

Motivation Monday!
“The expert in anything was once a beginner.”
Every champion started as a rookie. Every skilled artist, athlete, or student once said, “I don’t know how.” Bears-don’t be afraid to start. Ask questions, try new things, and give yourself grace as you grow.
Have a great week!
