Tip of the Day: Hard Hat Riot on PBS

John Dvorak really digs the new episode of American Experience on PBS titled, Hard Hat Riot. “It’s one of the best histories I’ve seen. I know part of it, I was there, pretty much—but I’m watching this going, this is all news to me. It’s fascinating!”

From PBS.com:

On May 8, 1970, construction workers in NYC violently clashed with students protesting the Vietnam War, signaling the emergence of a new kind of class divide. Hard Hat Riot chronicles a struggling city, a flailing president, and a bloody juncture when the nation diverged – culminating in a new political and cultural landscape that radically redefined American politics. FROM AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.

Watch Hard Hat Riot on PBS or you can get the book, The Hard Hat Riot, which the documentary was based upon at Amazon.com.
