On this episode of Our American Stories, Woodstock 1969 has gone down in history as the festival that defined a generation. Nearly half a million people gathered on a quiet New York farm, creating what briefly became the third-largest city in the state. Fears of chaos and violence never came true; instead, it was three days of music, peace, and unexpected harmony. Author Harlan Lebo revisits Woodstock to separate myth from reality and explain why the festival remains one of the most famous music events in American history.
