I Remember Where I Was When... Defining Events of the Modern American Consciousness

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. History is filled with memorable events which greatly impacted our world. Some events, however, leave an immediate and irreversible personal impact such that anyone could tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when it occurred. This is a book about those events. The Assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon shocked and horrified the world. The Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle Disasters cast a veil of mourning over the space program, although the first moonwalk is equally memorable. The death of Princess Diana brought world-wide attention to London, overshadowing the death of Mother Theresa. And, finally, the attacks of September 11, burned into the minds of Americans, which has permanently changed our day to day life.
