#HeatAndLight #podcast: "The white Christian left was once a powerful influence on American politics, in an era when faith did not dictate political inclination. Then came the 1968 declaration against the Vietnam War by the National Council of Churches." buff.ly/2ycyqXt

Before you listen to episode 7 of #HeatandLight on the rise of Richard Nixon, it's worth taking a look how #1968 started with a galvanized left, which we explore in episode 1. Listen here: heatandlightpod.com

Fantastic write-up on how Night of the Living Dead was THE movie of #1968. On #HeatandLight we also chronicled a small-screen feat - the first interracial kiss. Listen here: heatandlightpod.com
In 1965 Night of the Living Dead premiered in the U.S. It "never uses the term 'zombie' yet provided a template for a half-century of zombie movies effectively linking it to a submerged discourse on slavery, colonialism, and alienated labor.."
