The My Lai Massacre - My Lai was a village in South Vietnam where US soldiers killed between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, on March 16, 1968. The massacre was covered up by the US military for over a year, and it was not until November 1969 that the story was broken by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker magazine. The My Lai Massacre shocked the American public and it was one of the major factors that led to the end of the social liberalism of the sixties era.
The other climactic events mentioned in the options happened in either 1967 (the release of the Pentagon Papers) or 1969 (the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Stonewall riots).
