Aim: To interpret and evaluate the
sources on My Lai
My Lai
• In March 1968, an event
happened in My Lai
• The story would not come
out until November 1969
• The Tet Offensive had
already put the US on the
defensive with the public

world!
Remember him? He was involved in
the cover-up!
Johnson needs the info!

feel the pressure
• You will need to
compile a report on
what has happened

collected to come to a
conclusion

his reputation?
Information about the war

• US Army created Military
Assistance Command:
Vietnam (MACV) which
liaised with journalists
• Between 1964-68, only 3
journalists banned from
MACV
• Newspapers worried about
negative stories – might
undermine war effort
• TV stations worried about
showing negative images –
people might switch
channels!
Change in reporting
• Attitudes changed in
1967-68 and tone of
reports altered
• Tet Offensive
broadcasted to the
nation
• Vietcong suspects
executed in reports
• Walter Cronkite
denounces the war
Information Stations

attitudes in America?
• How were protests
organised?
• Information will be
provided – answer the
questions at the bottom
How did people
protest?
What form of protest would have
been the most effective?
Listen to this song – Who is
investigating the protests? How
effective are they?
• Next lesson we move onto
revision!
• How important was Lyndon’s
Johnson’s role in Vietnam
• Create a short profile
highlighting his successes
and failures in Vietnam
• How should history
remember Johnson?
Extension Task
What’s his legacy?

could not be won and was
swept into office on a ‘peace
ticket’.
