1. I was only 11, the marches were 6 miles away.

but even then I was riveted to radio/ TV about the story.

There were competing voices as to what really happened at any particular time. Some reporters reported what they saw with their own eyes, while the CPD and the mayor's office denied that it happened like that.
Daley (senior) was in fine form, mangling the american language like only he could. The rest of the city was extremely quiet and watched the spectacle in a sort awed, numb state.
